Stacey,
I just heard about Joes' passing. My memories of Joe are one of fun and laughter. Going down to the office with Freddie "Tagg" during lunch and laughing as Joe dealt with his loyal customers! What fun. Going with the band as they played in so many places, including my wedding 27 years ago. Joe had a heart of gold that he shared with everyone.
Rest in Peace my friend. Play a song with my good friend Freddie

Joe,
You are the older brother I never had. As a young teen, I began to work with you in your little 2 room optical shop at 333 Washington. You were my mentor and friend in teaching me a trade and a business. I loved being there with you and sharing the many laughs..... like the "Flopsy Mopsy", Honeymooner skits,the TAGG 4 adventures, the "225" lounge and of course those crazy customers....
A true friend who would give you anything, anytime .... all you had to do was ask. You are top shelf....Love you forever.
My deepest sympathy to Stacy and all your family....

I was saddened to learn the news of Joe's passing. Many years have passed since we had a small band in high school. Joe was a great drummer and a close classmate. My thoughts and prayers are extended to Joe's family.

When Joe passed I lost a brother and a great friend. In recent years my fondest memories with Joe were talking about the old days working at the "EMPIRE", (suffolk optical) and calling each other back and forth when the Sox or Pats were on.
I'll miss that.
