Our family was so surprised to hear of Joe's passing. When I think of Joe and high school, I recall hockey and hunting but mostly how great a guy Joe was. It was good to reconnect with Joe at Eustace when our girls went together. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. The McGuire Family, Joe, Beth and Colleen

I am so sorry to hear about Joe's death. I remember his being in the store with his Dad when I was involved with hi-fi and, then, getting help from him when I was fixing equipment in my father's photo lab. Your compensation is in knowing he is in a better place. May he rest in peace

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family, especially Mrs. Baratta, Liz, and Dave. I will never forget Mr. Baratta behind the sound board at the Bishop Eustace plays and musical performances, always making sure things were running smoothly for us. I also remember him driving Liz and I to her horse show and beforehand, cooking us breakfast with Frank Sinatra playing in the kitchen- always with his Flyers gear on! He was truly a wonderful man, and I feel so very lucky to have known him. May God Bless and be with him and his family.

My heart, love, and prayers go out to you. You will find that little things of his will now hold very special meaning to you. And you will hold his clothes near you just to catch his scent. It won't be the same..not hearing his voice on the other end of the phone..or feeling his arms around you or seeing him smile. And it hurts. Treasure your memories..allow yourselves to grieve.. and know that he is waiting for you in Heaven. And let God hold you close and comfort you as only He can do. Me and my family are here for you and love you all very much. We will always remember the special times our families have spent together through the years.

How in shock we all are. I am sending my love to all of the family - Candy, Liz and Dave and Aunt Marie and all cousins - esp. Mike and Stephen carrying on at AC with the empty desk beside them.

We love and miss you, Joe.
