Hey Joe, I can't believe it has been two years today, It feels like yesterday. Somedays it feels like it was so long ago others it feels like it is unfolding now. But most of the time it feels as if it was yesterday. I'm praying for you Joe. I love you, you were more of a big brother then a cousin to me. You protected me. I remember you always told me you'd kill me if I ever went near alcohol or drugs or tobbaco. Well I've been clean, for you. I love you Joe.

Hey Joe, my riend and I wrote a killer song on guitars. I really want to make it as a musician. It is a big change from wanting to play centerfield for the Yankees but I just have this feeling it is my calling. I'm doing it all for you. I love music and it just brings me so much joy. I always dream about playing my guitar for you and showing you what kind of stuff I play. I can't help but smile whenever I play and write a new lick cause I know that everything I write I'll get to play to the world one day. The song I wrote you I showed my girl friend and it made her cry. I don't know if I should put it on here for you. It is filled with so much emotion. Everytime I used to sit diown to write I couldn't write for you, I don't know why. probably because I didn't want to believe you are gone. It hurts to know that you are, Not an hour goes by that I don't think about you. I love you Joe,
Love Kris.

Hey Joe it's your cousin Kris again. I miss you and love you. My band is performing at Battle of the Bands and I'm gonna write a song for you and see if we can play it. I already wrote lyrics, my friend and I just have to write the music. Just thought I'd let you know.
I love you Joe.

Hey Joe I love you, things arent the same I know I only saw you maybe once a year at xmas since 2002 but I remember all the great times and memories we had shared. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you, you were the only cousin I had. All the others are far away.You were all I needed, I still need you. You are the person who motivates me to get up every morning and do what I have to do. Joe you are my inspiration, whenever I write a song on my guitar or a lyric I think of you and how you'd like it. I dream about you and how things used to be. I day dream all the time in school. If I had one wish it would be to see you again, even if it was only for 30 seconds to give you a hug and say goodbye. You are my hero Joe, we will meet again one day, in heaven. We can cause the usual mischief like the old days. I love you Joe.
Love,
Your cousin Kris

JOEY
Joey you were our big Pooh Bear
and even though your gone we know in our hearts your still here.
Inside you never showed any fear, you were the one who always cared. Joey you were known for your smile, and that for others went on for miles. you never got the chance to walk down the aisle and your poor mom wont see that for a while.
Joey when someone mentions your name,they can see your IRISH EYES.
Everyone who heard you passed away couldnt help but cry. You were so well known and such a popular boy.It was like you were always filled with laughs and joy.
Joey you know your family and friends miss you badly The thoughts and memories of you are remembered fondly.You might know this but I'll say it agian
I LOVE YOU times ten!

Your cousin ,

May those who love us, love us;
and those who don't love us,
may God turn their hearts;
and if He doesn't turn their hearts,
may he turn their ankles
so we'll know them by their limping.

joe, i thought this was a funny irish prayer, enjoy a good laugh

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand

Hey Joe,

Its been almost a year since you have past. Im sitting in Reading class, surfing the internet and I happend to some upon this guest book. The same guest book that so many people wrote in. I remember when, a year ago, i wrote in this guest book to you. I promised that i would never stop thinking about you. And I never have stopped. Joe, I miss you, even though you were hardly around. I guess you really start to realize how much you love someone after they leave you. Silly me.

Love always,

Your Cousin.

Joey,

I just found out yesterday (news does not travel fast in Arizona). I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. I remember you running through the tall grass at Stonel throwing a football with your dad. I'll always remember the eight year old with the chubby cheeks and beautiful smile. I'm sorry I didn't get to know you as a grown-up, it's obvious from the postings that you were a very special man.

With love,

Dear Cousin,

It's been a few weeks since your death and I can't get over it. When I was at your wake and funeral I wasn't really thinking that how I wasn't going to see you for a long time. Then my Aunt Mel just died a day after the Pope died and I was thinking further of death and how I wouldn't see both of you for a long time. Then I got more upset about you. The important thing is that your'e in my heart and I'll always remember you.

With Greatest Love,

Cousin Kevin

Joe,

It still hurts to think your not here with us anymore. You were such a great kid who I had nothing but the up-most respect for. Ever since we played little league together you've been one of the nicest people I've ever come across. I was and still am honored to say that you were a good friend of mine. The past couple of years I didn't see you as much as I would have liked and your are going to be sorely missed. You always had this smile on your face and a twinkle in your eyes that was so contagious to anyone walking by you. Playing hockey with you was such a blast. I remember giving a speech at the team banquet our senior year and specifically mentioning how much you had improved. When you put your mind to something you could accomplish anything. I ran into you over Christmas break this past December and even though we had'nt seen each other in a long time it felt like we had just hung out the night before. You were such an easy person to get along with, you'll be missed tremendously. I know your looking down on us from heaven with that smile of yours. Till we meet again my friend. My heart and condolences go out to your dad, mom, the rest of your family and our friends.

Joe- i dont even know what to say or how to say it. im still trying to accept the fact that your gone and it has been very hard for everyone. you were an amazing person and a wonderful friend. You brought smiles to everyones face no matter the situation. You had this sensitive side to you..the best anyone can ever have. you loved to have fun and you didnt have a care in the world, as long as you were with the people you cared about..thats what made you so special. you were JOEM! lol. we have had so many memories together i wouldnt even know where to start. the past 4 years i have had an amazing friend to talk to. you were always there for me and tried to cheer me up no matter what. even if we havent talked in a month you would call and act like we were still the best of friends. You were so special to me and i just hope that you know that. im going to miss picking up the phone at 2 in the morning and hearing "yoooohooo Rena". The pooh costume, all of our late night talks, our laughs and cries,just hanging out at abbys house, the beach, going tanning (dont worry i wont tell anyone lol), Hashems garage, and going to ur prom with u..are all memories that i will cherish and never forget for the rest of my life.After all, you were suppose to marry me one day!lol. You have touched me and so many people in a way that nobody else ever could, and for that, i am so happy to say that you are and always will be a part of my life. On saturday i know you tried calling me and i never got your phone call...and i keep thinking about it over and over again. Im so sorry about that. i wish i could have heard that voice of yours and talked to you one last time. But i know your in a better place with Hashem watching over us with those unforgettable smiles. I will never forget you joem! Everytime i think of you..you bring the biggest smile to my face. you and your family will always be in my heart and prayers. love you and miss you soo much. xOxO RIP

My deepest sympathies go out to the entire McFadden family and all of Joe's closest friends. I can't imagine how difficult the past year has been for all of you.

Joe: although its been a while since I last saw you, your image and presence has been at the forefront of my mind since I heard the news. Both you and Hashem make up a significant portion of my middle/high school memories -- especially our classic homeroom food fights (which I, of course, lost), and I never did thank you for that dance we shared in 8th grade. So thank you, and I owe you one when I get there.

When someone dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell god to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. people disappear, but but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind songs, they whisper to us, "Don't miss me too much. The view is nice, and i'm doing fine."

My deepest sympathy goes out to Joe's family and friends. I went to school with Joe for a couple years and would bump into him here and there. I couldn't believe it when I called Afshan last night, and her brother told me that she was at a wake and it was yours. I sat back and pictured you in my head. I knew you and you knew me. I do remeber your smile and how you were always so happy and jolly. It's really sad to hear about what happened. You were a wonderful person and I wish I got to know you better. Even though I didn't know you well, you and your family and friends will def. be in my prayers. Your in a better place now...God Bless...

joey i know i didn't know you as well as a lot of people did around here, but i had enough conversations with you to know you were a great kid. anybody could tell that just from your smile alone. i can't even count how many people have said over the past 4 days how much they are going to miss your smile. i am also glad i got to have one last conversation with you late night at krauser's a few weeks ago...you gave me your number and told me to call you. i wish more than anything that i had. it seems like this kind of thing always happens to the best of people around and it just doesn't seem fair. but i know you're in a safer, happier, wonderful place now. you clearly touched countless people who you came in contact with in your life and that's why this is so hard for so many people. but i know i'll see you again someday, rest in peace pal.

love, forde

My deepest condolences goes out to Joey's family and friends at this incredibly hard time. Joe, I had not talked to you in about a year when I ran into you when you were visiting a friend at Quinnipiac Univ last year and as usual you made me laugh. I never got a chance to thank you for making sophomore English class so much fun, I feel honored to have had the privilege to have sat behind you, you kept me laughing and put a smile on my face every afternoon. You will truely be missed by all.

March 17, 2005

Joey, you were only born six weeks before me, so close in age but we were so far apart. Our mothers wanted to see who would give our grandmother a granddaughter first. Well you were the first born of the two of us but I was the girl. All of our lives we have competed against each other, i was the brain and you were the jock. We spent so many years fighting each other we wasted our time with it all. then suddenly it all changed, when i saw you in december it was different. We grew out of it and got along. We were only friends for a couple months but they were the best times. I will never forget being launched three hundred feet in the air and you tricking me into coming down face first. You always were a prankster even now I know your pulling pranks up their in heaven and looking down on us and laughing as you see me walk into walls and be my ditsy self. I never really told you this dozer but I love you I wish that I had a chance to tell you after all the years of fighting each other. Your my cousin and I love you dozer. I wish we hung out more but now there is no time, no time. I still cant believe your gone, I keep waiting for you to jump out the closet and say its just a joke. I wish it was that simple. I guess in the end we'll see each other and make up for all the years lost to us.

James A. McFadden Jr

March 17, 2005

It's so hard to believe you are really gone. It seems like only yesterday we were in the bath playing when we were only babies. you were my cousin , but i considered you like a brother. i know that you had a special gift in life. the gift to make us all laugh,i know that god has his plans for all of us he just needed you sooner than the rest of us. you were an angel sent here for a reason and god needed you home. Ilove you and miss you so much,its hard to say good bye . but i know it is only temporary . You will always be with us all in our hearts.

rest in peace brother.

Joe, I’ve been thinking so much about you and your family, since my daughter, Alex, told me this past Sunday that you were no longer with us.

From what I’ve heard and read over the past few days, you were an extraordinarily loving and much loved young man. Much to my dismay, I never had the good fortune to meet you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and your close friends during this very painful period. I know they are suffering an enormous loss. A loss, I pray, I never have to suffer.

May you spread that joy I see in your wonderful smiling face to all you come in contact with where you are, so others can share in your extraordinary light.

Your beautiful soul will be deeply missed here but you’re in a safe place, now. God bless you.

Joey,

After viewing family and friends letters to you, Iknow you gave your smile & heart to all. Not knowing you saddens my heart, however, that does not change my deep feeling for you, you are family.

Big Joe, Uncles Dieter, John, Tim, Chris, Mike, Paul, Aunt Shirley and Uncle Junior - I cannot even fathom or express my deepest feeling for you. My heart breaks for you all.

May the road rise up to meet you, the wind always be at your back, the sunshine warm upon your face, and rains fall softly upon your fields, untill we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Peace, Maureen

Where's Dozer? Joe, where is Joe? When is Joe getting here? Where is Joey? These words were repeated over and over at just about every birthday party,easter,thanksgiving &

christmas. Why? Because we couldnt wait for our hug from you as a child. Your handshake or punch on the shoulder as a teen. Then back to your hug as an adult.

Much love & hugs

My deepest sympathies are with the McFadden family and all of Joe's friends. Joe-You lived like 5 houses up, and although we weren't very close, you were a neighborhood kid, and I remember one day when we were little playing volleyball in your backyard with the Doyle's. Then this past summer at Miro's, and seeing you at Primo, and always seeing cars in front of your house, and seeing you in the mustang at Duchess a bunch of times, and then one night at Abby's house. All the tiny memories of you come flooding back and put a smile on my face. When I first heard the news, I immediately thought of your awesome, infectious laugh. It's tough to imagine that this summer, you won't be up the street anymore. I hope you are at peace, Joe. You'll be missed terribly...

I cant believe this happened, he was always so happy and such a good kid. I didnt really hang out with Joe but i remember the occasional whats up around the halls of FHS and around town. He was always so happy and always smiling. Always chillin with his crew whippin the mustang. I just cant believe all this happened its crazy. Well now you and Hashem can rest in peace together. My condolances go out to you and your family and friends. Rest in peace joe.

a nice kid, we thought. Your parents raised a fine son. God Bless You Joe, you will always be

in our hearts forever. To Joe's

family - please know that you are

in our thoughts and in our prayers.

God Bless you all and when we remember Joe, we'll always remember

him smiling. Please find comfort in knowing how many people loved your Joe.

Always,

Joe, if only you could see the amount of entries that are in here. People who loved you unconditionally, forever. There are no words that can express my feelings right now. You were the one who would share his meatball grinder with me even though you were'nt full. We grew up together, you were my cousin, and we were cheated because we never got to be friends the way cousins get to be. There won't be a day were I won't think of you, and a night were I won't pray for you.

I love you Dozer.

So unreal. First Hashem, then you. Two of the greatest people I have ever met have left me at such an early age. When will I wake up from this bad dream? You always made me crack a smile when I was down. You were always the highlight of the parties and the boring days. You always made people look forward to boring times because we knew you'd be there to make it fun. You always made winnie the pooh look better ;). You always brought attention to the most boring things in life like my modern world class in highschool. But most of all, you always brought a smile to everybodies face just at the right times. You will always be missed along with Hashem but never forgotten, take care. Both of you keep busy up there. We'll see you on the otherside but for now may our hearts be blessed with love from up above. Rest in Peace Joe my condolences go out to all of your family and friends.

To my nephews friends.

Twenty two years ago this was written for a friend who passed away in high school.

"Life’s a funny thing

You take it day by day

And wait for tomorrow

In search of an easier way.

And then one day you realize

How quick it all could end

When your heart feels the sorrow

Of the passing of a friend."

Joseph is not only my nephew; he is my friend.

I would like to thank all of Joe’s friends for the kind words.

Dear Joe & Family:

This is unbelievable news. Joey was part of the neighborhood kids. From what we remember the square was Joey’s playground throughout his childhood years. The neighborhood kids spending summers, springs...we remember seeing Joey with his friends playing & hanging out in the square. This news hits close to home. Joe’s rosy cheeks, innocent childlike face and sweet smile wearing his cap comes to mind. That’s how we remember him. Laughing & smiling. Heaven is his playground now...play freely and happily Joey. Be at peace.

Our condolences and prayers go out to the family.

Dear Joe,

I only knew you for one year, back when we were in sixth grade together at Fairfield Woods- but we were best friends. That summer, I moved, and we meant to keep in touch, but never did. I only wish that I could have said goodbye. You were a wonderful friend to me.

~*Irish Blessing*~

May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

Joey, you always reminded me of a teddy bear. You had that kind and loving smile that nobody can replace. A heart bigger than open arms. You'd have a look on your face, one that would let people know that everything was going to be alright. You used to be like a big brother to me from the start since I've known you. This is unforgetable,along with Hashem's unexpected tragedy but look on the bright side, you and him were best friends from the beginning until the end. You both were true friends and can now rest in peace.

Love & miss you both

JOEY

No-one could ever know just how much Joey meant to me and you

Many may have known him by name but it is not the same

His eyes so bright, his smile so wide

We always let him know we were by his side

Now he is gone from me and you

And we can not help but feel blue

We loved him and he loved all of us,

In our hearts he was always an A-plus

We never got to say goodbye or give a hug or kiss

Now all we can do is reminisce

Why does God have to take the ones we love

And bring them up to heaven above

I know his memory will never leave me

And his kind gentle smile will always be seen

Never forget him, never let him leave your mind

And let us all tell him we love him just one more time

We all love you Joey and you will always be in our hearts,

And so now we say goodbye as upward to heaven your soul departs.

In Loving Memory,

Big Cousin Gary

Joe, if only you could read this guest book. Tons of heartfelt entrys were written here all for you. Theres not enough words to express how I feel right at this moment. You were my cousin, and we were cheated out of being friends. These past few days all I can think about is the times when we were younger, you would share your meatball grinder with me even though you din't want to. The happy memories will always last in my heart, and there won't be a day were I don't say a prayer for you. I love you Joe.
