You know whats great about being Catholic? It's our relationship with the deceased. Our whole nuclear family reverted to the Catholic Faith two years ago when I got a tremendous healing after a Catholic priest offered me the sacrament of confession. My son Solomon and Jim jumped right in but Daniel had loads of tough questions so he took a year apologetic class at MIT(starting with proof of existence of God philosophically!) and with great enthusiasm decided to get confirmed Catholic last Easter vigil, an all night mass. Anyway, back to Joe and Joan, I pray for them at to them every single day. I offer mass up daily for them and feel this powerful connection that might be even stronger than when I knew them on earth. Anyway it's part of the faith. They pray for those who pray for them! You don't have to be a practicing Catholic to do this but it sure helps. Joe was such a strong church attender and I remember attending many beautiful masses with him and the family. Bev Duane

He was a great brother even though he loved to tease. Joe will be remembered always, always there when needed. I would call him and say Joe, this is your favorite sister. He knew my voice but would always say, hello Margaret, then give me his silly laugh. Many great memories of parties and times together and apart. He was there when my husband left this earth ll years ago. They are probably in heaven reminising about the lousy Pinochle player I was. Love you and miss you always Joe.

I am happy to see the comments about Joe's humor. It gave him joy to make others happy. He made us all laugh with his Irish wit and great jokes. I loved his laugh and his smile. I met him when I was 13 years old when he was a CYO advisor, before meeting his son, Jim (my husband). He treated me like one of his own daughters. I am sad about this loss, especially for my children losing an outstanding grandfather and role model.

Am very sad to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. When telling my daughter about his passing, she said, " he was the funny one. Grandpa was the grumpy one". Uncle Joe, you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the rest of the family.
