Amy and Family,
I'm very sorry about Joe. I've known Joe for over 30 years, we were teammates in Babe Ruth, American Legion, and Latin Academy baseball. I also worked with Joe at C6, he was a great guy who will be sorely missed.

I worked with Joe at BPD. He was a true gentleman and a great Officer. He treated people kindly. You could always count on him to break the tension with a joke. And that laugh...I am so sorry for your pain. I remember him talking about you, Amy. You were the love of his life. God Bless.

I was so saddened to hear about Joe. I knew Joe from high school and always appreciated his sense of humor and his kindness towards others....just an overall "good guy". My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time. Sending prayers, blessings and light to you all.

I knew Joe from the time we were in kindergarten together in Roslindake. We grew up playing baseball together in the Parkway programs. He was a great guy that could make you laugh no matter the circumstances. Joe had a huge heart and he will be missed. Joe's passing took place much too soon and it is a big loss to those of us that were fortunate enough to get to know him during his lifetime. Rest in peace my friend. I will miss you.

I'm just heartbroken. I ran into Joe just 3 or 4 weeks ago and it was great seeing him. Joe was my second cousin but he was a good friend too. So sad for his family. I hope you're able to find find peace.

Joe was the nicest kid in the world. His Mom and Dad used to eat at Doyle's in JP and Joe would come in with them sometimes, a very, very nice young man. I remember when he went of to the Marines, made his family proud, and then became an officer with the BPD and a great family man. God Bless you Joe and May God keep your family in HIS Heart.
