I just got this news and I am really sad. I bowled with Joe in the summer for years and I have a great memory of him. On his 90th B-Day his friends had a surprise B-Day party at the bowling alley. The joy on his face and the tears in his eyes was one of the nicest moments I have ever been apart of.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD THE GREAT PRIVILGE OF BOWLING WITH JOE ON THE FRI.SENIOR LEAGUE.WHAT A CHALLENGE IT WAS BECAUSE HE KNEW IT ALL. I MAKE SURE TO TAKE HIM A PACK OF PEANUT CRACKERS BECAUSE OF HIS SUGAR. HE SAID TO ME YOU SURE DO TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME. I'LL NEVER FORGET THOSE WORDS AS LONG AS I LIVE. THIS MAN HAD A TRUE HEART OF GOLD.HE OFFERED ME BOWLING TIPS, SAID DON'T LISTEN TO THAT OLD MAN LISTEN TO ME AND WE LOOKED AT BUD WE LAUGHED. HE OFFERED HIS EAR (EVEN HALF THE TIME I DON'T THINK HE HEARD ME). HE KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY THE 24TH OF APRIL AND HE ENCOURAGED ME AS NO OTHER. HE SAID THIS COMING YEAR IS GONNA BE YOURS KID. IF I WAS DOWN THAT SURE DIDN'T LAST LONG CAUSE HE WOULDN'T LEAVE IT HAPPEN. WE WERE AT HIS 90 BIRTHDAY PARTY AND HOW HE ENJOYED THAT. I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO HAVE THIS MAN IN MY LIFE OVER THE YEARS NOW. HE'S A FRIEND LIKE NO OTHER AND HE KNEW HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.IF ONLY OTHER PEOPLE KNEW HOW TO BE MORE LIKE JOE WHAT A BETTER WORLD THIS WOULD BE. HE'LL BE PART OF US TILL WE SEE HIM AGAIN. GOD BLESS YOU JOE ,YOU ARE HOME. LOVE YA FELLA BUD AND MARY

Uncle Joe was one who always made the world smile! I will never forget his kindness to my son Nick. And there are many memories of card-playing, to be sure! My prayers are with all of you in this difficult time. Much love,

To Joe's family....It was a blessing to have had the privlege to have known him. He was always welcome at our house with Helen what ever the occasion was & boy did he compliment me on my cooking. He loved our dogs also. His face always had a smile on it. I never heard a rude comment out of his mouth & he even thought his sense of humor was funny. In the few years that I had been around him, I learned that there was still a "true" gentleman in this world. We will miss him. God bless you Joe.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. My grandmother brought him to our family functions and dinners. He sure will be missed at those. What a funny and kind guy Joe was.
Joe, Brenden and I will miss your humor and smiling face. We never did get to have another bowling game but I will remember you telling me what to do when you watched me, YOU'RE a PRO!! Now you can dance away with your wife again - we know thats making you smile. Xoxox
