I met Joe a number of times at family gatherings. His brother Paul was married to my mother's sister Connie. I didn't know him very well but do know he must have been one of the happiest people I've ever met. I remember him always laughing and making everyone around him laugh. He was very friendly and spirited. It was truly a joy to be around him. Please accept my condolences.

I never met Joe but only heard about him thru Anthony. I'm therefore sending condolences all the way from Switzerland to Anthony, his family and loved ones.
I just went through the same loss six months ago and there is no simple cure to your loss and pain. Be strong. Keep united as a family. Realize that you and your father will live on through your children ...

Lots of love,
Holger, Suzanne, Liliane, Annabelle and Alexander
