Joe was a kind  man, loved to name songs and watch sports whether it was Hockey or baseball. He was a enjoyable person to talk to. I enjoyed Taking care of him ! Such a sweet gentleman.

Many fond memories of Joe running and biking before his horrendous stroke. He always kept me in stitches. I particularly remember one event we did together as part of a team, 24 hour running relay at a high school track in St. Louis. Had a horrendous thunder storm about half way through the event, spent a large of the evening in a tent with Joe and some other member of the team. Joe's humor kept us from crying.

I will truly miss talking with Joe about Clint Eastwood movies. Joe always had me laughing. My condolences to his family.

Joe was the best of the best.  I was honored to be his sister (in-law) for 
over 50 years.  He was a wonderful husband, father, uncle and friend to 
all who knew him.  We will keep his memory (especially his humor, Joe-isms as we called them) in our hearts forever.  Rest in peace, Joe.  We all love you very much!
