it is April 2015, and I just heard of the loss of a friend of more than 35yrs. I am saddened beyond words, we had just bumped into each other in Mystic that August with Elizabeth. God bless you and watch over you Liz. Joe knew me and talking with him was a joy each time. We cry for the hole we are left without him.

Dear Liz,
When you've lost someone you dearly love it's hard to find the sun.
There will be shadows that seem to fill your days with gloom, But thankfully memories live on not touched by death's cold touch;
It is In these most special memories you will be bathed by Joe's love,
Memories will bring a smile, even on the saddest day.
May you be blessed with wonderful memories,

We have truly lost a wonderful person. The knowledge of Porsches that he had was second to none. He was a kind hearted person, great employee & co-worker. We mourn your loss and we keep you in our thoughts as you go thru this difficult time.

Dear Linda and family,
My deepest sympathy to you at this time of such sadness. The world has lost a great guy. Men who are thoughtful, kind, always dependable, have a beaming smile, know which sports teams to support and can even fix a car (!) are rare. I trust that the strength in each of you and the love of family and friends will help you as you find the way to live without his steady presence.
So sorry I can't be with you now. I am thinking of you. Love, Carol
