I cannot believe how long it has been. I still miss him but too don't have to think of him as an old man. I wish we all lived closer so we could get together all of us cousins like the old days. Love, Pat

One of our best memories was our trip to Wildwood on the motorcycles. We left 20 minutes after everybody else and would have made it home way before them but we stopped for a cold one and got home around the same time as them instead :) We'll miss you Joe.

We met Joe and Cindy when we worked together at Bridgeport Controls in Horsham, Pa back on the 70's. I asked Cindy to be my bridesmaid in my wedding. She caught the flowers and Joe caught the garter belt. Shortly after they got engaged and then married. I remember the great time we had as a group togehter. We went caving together and Joe would watch over us as we made our way through the cave. So like Joe to keep his eyes on us and take care of everyone! Although we haven't seen him in many years we have such great memories of the times we spent together. God's peace and love to Cindy and family.

As I bid Joe a sad farewell,I'll remember his lively enthusiastic greetings, bright smiles and love for life. He was always concerned for others and made you feel that you were important to him. Joe's light shown brightest when he spoke of Cindy and his children. He will be sorely missed by every single person who had the privilege of knowing him. God bless you Cindy Joe and Lauren and give you His peace.

Oh, he is too young to be gone. He is my cousin and I remember when he was about 5 and he gave up his bed for me to stay over a few days while my dad had an operation - he had a cowboy chenille spread. We read books on the floor and our feet made his baby sister trip. He was always such fun, laughed easily - I will miss him so much.
