God bless you Joe. Prayers and heartfelt sympathy for all family members traveling the grief road TOGETHER ! May God's mercy soften the pain of your loss with His love. When I saw his picture I was so reminded how much he looked like his father...when I knew you through St. Joseph's Hospice Program. My thoughts will be with you, Dee.
Always your friend,

I only heard of Joe from others. While I never met him, I heard he was a very good, decent, loving guy who helped a lot of people. God Bless your family at this difficult time.

Jon and Dee, I am so sorry for your loss. Ever since we were neighbors in grade school and jr. high I always looked up to Joe and was always amazed at how much he could bench press at an early age. He has such a passion even back then!
