We are so saddened to read of Joe's passing. It brought back warm memories of our times together in our younger years. We will keep him in our prayers.

"We first knew Joe as our dentist, but then had the opportunity to become better acquainted through mutual friends. He had sweet, gentle caring manner and a subtle sense of humor. We will never forget the times shared together in days gone by like the get togethers at both of our homes, the dancing lessons, and
Newburyport dart board game gatherings... Loving thoughts and prayers of comfort and peace are sent to
the entire family."
