Dear Susan, Gary and Laurie,

We have the fondest of memories of your dad and all of you at all three Joe's. Many a beer crawl began and ended at Joseph's Aquarium. I will always remember the sing a longs. Conor was almost born at one of them but waited a few days before making an appearance. I am so glad he came to the B'nai Mitzvah. I did learn that your dad was sick at the same time as ours and was so sad. I only wish we were able to attend his funeral and be there with and for you.

God bless (as my dad would say)
Love Randy and Bill O'Brien

PS: We were partial to the Shrimp Sautee

Susan, Laurie, Gary,
I can't tell you how shocked and saddened I was today to hear the news of Joe's death. It was like I lost a family member. We had so many wonderful years together and he brought a lot of love and joy to my life and the lives of many others. Although he lived life like the song "My Way", his children and grandchildren were always number one.
Please accept my Deepest Sympathy and take peace in knowing he is up there with many of his close friends and family. (Hopefully there is a race track.) He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed.
God Bless. Love, Brenda

Dearest Susan, Gary and Laurey: I am deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Joe. I have endless memories of him and each of you. Of all his accomplishments, his greatest were you, his children. He was so proud of each of you. Joe lived life as he chose, and those of us lucky enough to have shared a part of that life are forever changed. He certainly has left his mark on all those who knew and loved him. You are in my every thought through this difficult time. Much love to you, Monica
