Joe was a gentleman of the old school, always kind and gracious. He had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed life in his golden years with his bride Teresa. I admired his strong Catholic faith and his wholesome ideals; always there to help anyone in need. I will remember his relaxed, folksy presence and genuine interest in people and his beloved church and community. His values shaped his loving family and they live on in all those grandchildren and great-children. My heart is sad for Teresa and the children though he planted a legacy of love and memories for them to harvest in days ahead. Sending prayers for all of them. Joe surely earned his seat at that heavenly banquet.

I was a co-worker of Joe's at National Fuel Gas back when it was known as Iroquois Gas Co. At the time we worked out of the Niagara Falls Service Center on Packard Rd. Joe at that time was a sub-foreman in the distribution dept. and I was a helper in the utilization dept. I really got to know Joe when I went to work in the safety dept. and would see him on the job or at safety meetings. He always had a smile and a joke to tell. When he told me that he lived in Newfane, I said where's that ? I later learned of his affection for draft horses when he bought an old wagon from my neighbor in Bergholz. We kept in touch, on occasion after we were both retired. My deep heartfelt sympathies go out to his entire family. His faith has given him a new life in Christ. God has blessed you Joe !

Fifty years ago, his family made its mark on Niagara County 4-H and today the 4-H Meat Auction continues to be successful thanks to the leadership of pioneers Joe and Theresa. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Condolences from the Raduns and Sweeney families.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Theresa and her family. I will miss the conversations that Joe and I usually have got into at the St. Brendan and Barker Senior's meetings. Always looked forward to those meetings. Never really solved anything but always a great talk with a good man.
