Missing you more than ever and grateful in every way that my dad gets to be reunited with you and the family. This makes this pain we feel so much more bearable. We love you!

March 11, 2016

You are missed terribly everyday. I will forever hold all your jokes close to my heart. Wish we could just have one more day with you, Uncle Mike and grandmom. We were so lucky to have been blessed with all of you in our lives.

Your Favorite Niece

March 9, 2016

I think about you often and wish I would've made better choices when you were alive. I would've spent more time with you, I would've appreciated you more, and I would hug you a whole lot. You don't realize the impact a person has in your life until you are forced to live without them. I've learned these lessons the hard way and in your honor, I will forever cherish and soak in every memory I have with our family. Thank you for being you; you really made our family complete!

Happy birthday Uncle Joe!

July 10, 2013

Just stopping by to say that we love you and miss you. Wish you were still here with us.

May 30, 2013

Just was thinking about you. They say tim heals and it gets easier but it doesn't. We miss you. I have learned a lot from your passing: how to live each day for you, not worrying about what anyone thinks. To be myself, to not take things for granted.
I see alot of you in Christian. He is truly a unique and special person. I am just sorry I didn't appreciate you more for how special you really were. Everyday I remind Christian of what an incredible, wonderful child he is and will for the rest of his life. I love you so much. I miss you more than I can ever express and I will carry your spirit with me always. Tell Grandmom I love her and all of her wisdom has not gone to waste on me :-)

February 4, 2013

Wish I could hear one of your classic "Joe" jokes. Miss you.

Always this time of year when I think of you. I sit here and think boy, if Uncle Joe were here he'd make my Halloween costume a reality. Forget that store bought crap! :-) Love and miss you everyday.

February 22, 2012

Hey Bub was thinking about ya today and everyday. Sucks not having you around anymore. Just when I needed a joke or a laugh you were always around. I know you are entertaining everybody upstairs so i will have to wait and reunite with you later. Always loved and Missed! Tell Grandma and Uncle Mike we love them and Miss them!

January 11, 2012

Theres not a day that goes by that we are not thinking about you. I miss you more and more each day. I wish you were around. I love you.

January 10, 2012

I cannot believe that you have been gone for four years already. There is not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of your kind way or your sense of humor. I miss you terribly my friend. I hope you are in a better place maybe playing cards with my mom and your mom. God Bless You.

Four years already, gone far too soon in life.

December 16, 2011

I agree he always went all out with decorating. Its the little things we all miss the most. There is not a day that goes by and not think of you, Uncle Mike and Gram. I still will never know why they would take our uncles away from us and I guess Ill never will know. But one thing is for sure I was blessed with a great family. And two of the worlds GREATEST UNCLES. I love you and miss you terribly.

December 15, 2011

Was talking to my boyfriend about how you went all out with decorating for Christmas and found myself in tears. There is something to the saying you don't know what you got until it is gone. I pray with the holidays and New Year approaching that I learn to live a better and fuller life and cherish the ones around me. I love you so much and wish you guys were here more than anything.

Happy Halloween Joe, I know this was your favorite time of year. I was dressed up like a zombie at the Halloween party, I think your have been impressed. With Love Always!

October 24, 2011

Happy belated birthday Uncle Joe. I thought about you on your birthday but wasn't near a computer. I wish you were here the boys now want to be scary things for Halloween and it would have been so cool for you to paint their faces like you did for us. We miss you and love! xoxox

October 24, 2011

Happy belated Birthday Uncle Joe..I miss you more and more each day..not a day goes by that i dont think of you..wish you were still here with us..I love you and miss you..

October 22, 2011

Was thinking about you a lot today and often do around Halloween. Was telling my boyfriend how creative you were and how you made us a deck of cards the one year and how everyone loved our costumes. It didn't dawn on me until later that it was your birthday. Happy Birthday Uncle Joe. Christian and I miss you a lot.

Mike Walsh

Dear Sue and Richie It's been years seen I saw all of you. I am sorry this is three years late. I only found out by the internet recently. I am sorry to hear about Joey and Richie mom too. I've only met him few times but what I saw while I was down there was a great guy. Sue, Richie , and the kids. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know they say time heal,but it only gets a little easier. Take care my old friends.

July 11, 2011

My heart still aches the day we loss you.

Just got a bike and as soon as it came in I thought of you. You would've had it together in ten mins. instead I watched my bf sweat for over an hour not to finish it. It's at the bike shop right now :). You were more than a handyman in the family, you were an incredible spirit that i wish i appreciated more when you were here. I do now and that's a spirit that was definitely one of a kind, the good kind and one that transcends your time here. Miss you immensely and grandmom too. Miss her wisdom, miss your spirit, miss uncle mike's big heart. With all our love!

June 23, 2011

It's weird the little things that make me think about you. Like anytime something needs to be built or something someone drew. We miss and love you Uncle Joe:)

Susan Walsh

June 10, 2011

I miss you so much. It never gets any easier. I think about you and Uncle Mike and grandmom alot. You were one of a kind. I wish Aubrey had the chance to meet you and enjoy the many tricks you had. I love you and miss you.

June 8, 2011

Joe we miss having you around:( I hope you're taking care of Grandmom. Love you.

Kelly Walsh

May 5, 2011

Miss you a lot Uncle Joe and so does Christian. I love that he got to meet you and I love even more that he remembers you so vividly. We love you so much and think about you in some way everyday. Thanks for watching over us and keeping us so strong!

Kelly Walsh

April 4, 2011

Been thinking about you Uncle Joe a lot lately. As I said to Uncle Mike, you don't realize how much a person truly means until they are not there to greet you walking in the door. We all miss you, Uncle Mike, and grandmom so much. Christian asks a lot about you and still associates Halloween with you which I love. You truly were one of a kind and by that I mean the very best kind of all. Love you with all my heart. Keep watching over us and keeping the family strong.

March 21, 2011

I hope Uncle Mike isn't giving you hell up there! Love you Uncle Joe and miss you everyday:)

Hey Uncle Joe, I've been thinking of you a lot lately since your birthday is approaching. I miss you so much and I am just sad that Aubrey will never get to meet her Uncle Joe. I love you.

Michael Walsh

October 13, 2010

Hey Joe, what's up? I know, "Everything above your eyes". A Joe Walsh classic, just wanted to let you know I think about you and grandmom a lot still, and miss both of you's immensely. It's Halloween time, your favorite time of year. Uncle Mike and I think about you every time we go through Halloween catalogs and always say "Bet you Joe would love this or that". I take solace in believing that this message boards reaches you in some capacity, a way for friends and family know that your are missed.

Kelly

October 13, 2010

As your birthday and Halloween nears, thinking about you more than ever..love and miss you everyday!

October 2, 2010

Hey Joe,
Today is ten years that my mom has passed and my dad will be joining you all very shortly. Please ask God if you could escort my dad when it is his time and give him safe passage to reunite him with my mom. I Think of you every day and it always makes me smile. The gang drank a shot in your memory to Monty Python's "Bright Side of Life" at my last Bar-B-Que. We all miss you. I love you dear friend.

Hey Joe,

Barry and I went to Eastern State's 'Terror Behind the Walls' last night. Thought of you the whole time...when I wasn't screaming. Knew you would have had a blast. Miss you.

Happy Birthday Joe..thinking of you today more than ever!!

October 21, 2009

Hey Joe,

Tomorrow is your birthday and I find myself thinking of you every day. I look at the photo of us at Donna and Barry's wedding (on my computer desk) and miss you so much all of the time. Halloween was always your favorite holiday and it alwyas hurts me when it comes around and you couldn't be here to scare my kids or just have fun with at a party. I miss you and love you.

Denny Quinn

October 20, 2009

Thinking about you very much and of course this time of year, Halloween. Was just telling a friend how you made us a deck of cards one year and of course me the Queen!! I'm quite certain I tell that story every Halloween. What I wouldn't give for a Joe story.
Miss and love you..

Denny Quinn

April 17, 2009

Hey Joe. I think about you all of the time but since Harry Kalas passed away,even more so. I think about your days working at the ball parrk. I know you were not really into sports, but I equate the kind of person you were with Harry's personality. I miss you so much. I am trying to find the picture of all of us on Timmy's VW. IF I can find it I will put it on here . I love and miss you.

Suzy Walsh

January 8, 2009

I can't believe that a year has passed by already. It doesn't get any easier without you in our lives. Everyday I am thinking about you and wondering why you even had to go. That's just something that I will never understand. You were such a great person and I wish you were still here with us. Alot of people come up to me and just tell me they can't even believe that your gone and that you always knew how to make them smile. Thats so true you knew how to put smiles on peoples faces even when they were having a bad day. Words really can't express how much I miss you. I love you!

Kelly

January 5, 2009

I can't believe it has almost been a year since you passed. I remember the day as if it were just yesterday. I wish it were the day before that yesterday. There are so many things you regret when someone passes, things you wish you had said and done. Did that person know how much you loved them and the impact that they had on your life? I hate that I take life for granted. If I had half your spirit, maybe I wouldn't. This new years I really do hope that I become a better person because I realize how short life really is. I love you with all my heart, we all do and we all miss you more than words can say. The holidays weren't the same, life isn't the same.

Denny Quinn

January 3, 2009

Hey Joe,

I had a very difficult Christmas this year especially. When we were putting up our tree this year, I found the card ornament you sent the year before you died. It had a "Big Joe Original" in it. You wrote that "You would have sent money, but you had already sealed the envelope". Typical Joe humor. I miss it so much and I cannot tell you how my heart aches every time I hear or see something that reminds me of you. When I found that ornament, I cried for twenty minutes. I know you are in a better place, but it hurts like hell not to have you here. I miss you and love you.

Suzy(Magoozie) Walsh

January 1, 2009

Hey Uncle Joe, well it was a sad Thanksgiving, Christmas and especially New Years without you here. I was just thinking back at the last New Years and how much fun we had and it would have been a better one for all of us if you were here. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you terribly. The holidays were not the same without you here to share them. It's almost a year since you been gone and it still doesn't get any easier. It was a hard holiday for all of us but we know you and Grandmom were watching over all of us. Just know the holidays will never be the same with you and Grandmom. Watch over everyone! You are missed so much and I love you.

Rachel Walsh

November 10, 2008

Hey Uncle Joe I just wanted to say how much I miss you. I really do and I guess you don't realize what you have until it's gone. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss you but I know your up there taking care of Grandmom because what would she do without you! I'm so sad that you never got to meet Riley and she'll never know her Uncle Joe. I was thinking about what you told me when I was pregnant with her how your done building toys. You would say that all of the time but I know you didn't mean it. I was thikning about you on your 50th birthday and missing you. Colin even thought about you too. He misses you too. I guess he'll never forget his crazy Uncle Joe. Halloween passed and that made me think about you even more. How you use to love to take us out and how much fun we had. That was your thing and us kids will never ever forget it. We all love and miss you so much and with Thanksgiving coming up you definitely will be missed. No matter how bad your headaches were you always made it to dinner. Joe we love you and we miss you.

Me again Joe,

Barry and I took Mom to the Edgar Allen Poe house today. Thought about you the whole time. Remembering the day you, Denny and I went there on the day of Poe's passing and they did the spooky, candel-lit reading in the basement of the house. Always had fun with you. Always good having someone else who also appreciated the 'creepy' factor in things.

Miss you this time of year especially.

Donna Sticher

October 25, 2008

Hey Joe,

What's up? I know, "the sky" right? Never a straight answer from you. If I ever asked you how you felt and you didn't say, "with my hands", I would have thought something was really wrong.

Happy belated 50th birthday. No fair, you were the only Mole that was older than me, now I have to take all of the teasing myself and I have no one to tease.

Love and Miss you bunches!

Denny Quinn

October 23, 2008

Hey Joe. I just wanted to say happy birthday(would have been the big 50). I still have trouble processing the fact that you are no longer here with us. I know that Halloween and Christmas will never be the same without you. I miss you very much and I hope that you will watch over all of us from the beautiful place that you are in.

Michael Walsh

October 23, 2008

Hey Joe, just wanted to wish you a Happy 50th B-day. Uncle Mike was thinking about you on your b-day, he really misses you, like we all do. With the holidays fast approaching it's going to be a difficult time without you around. I'll miss all the times we had decorating for Christmas, especially the tree. This year when I do it, know that I'll be thinking of you and the years we shared together. Just know that I think about you and grandmom everyday, and please watch over all of us during this holiday season. Joe, I love you from the bottom of my heart and rest assure we will meet again.

Kelly W

October 22, 2008

Happy 50th Birthday Uncle Joe, not a day goes by that we aren't thinking of you!!!

Kelly W

August 21, 2008

Been thinking about you more than ever. It is so hard going to my mom's and not seeing you on the corner playing chess or drawing or talking with the neighbors. We all miss you so much and there isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you.

Kelly W

July 22, 2008

Now I know I sent you something last week, did you you make it disappear? I'm listening to that song again and everytime I hear it, I think of you. I think about you often. As Suzy said, if we could have one more joke, one more laugh, I'd even take one more cry together-as long as you were here. We all miss you dearly, more then words can express.

Suzy Walsh

June 27, 2008

Uncle Joe, I miss you so much! I still can't get over that fact that you are gone. I still believe you are going to walk through that door from work. I would do anything to hear those jokes one more time. As time goes by it just doesn't get any easier. I wish you were here with us. I learned never to take anyone for granted because you never know when they will be gone. I miss you and love you.

Kelly W

June 5, 2008

It's hard to believe it's now almost six months. It seems like it was only yesterday you left us to go to a better place. We miss you and love you very much. I think about you every day. I never realized how much you don't appreciate things until they are not there. What I/we wouldn't give for just one more day...until we meet again, you'll remain in my heart...I love you!

Dennis Quinn

May 17, 2008

Hey Joe. I can't believe it is May already and I miss you more every day. The little things get to me so much. Sometimes I hear a song and I think of you. Somtimes I see someone that looks like you or I hear your laughter in my heart when I am watching the Three Stooges and all of the good times we had come rushing back to me. You always took time to play cards (even when you were sick) or just share your wonderful friendship with us. You never asked for anything in return. You were the most popular guy I ever met and the funny thing about that is you probably never even knew it. Everyone loved you "Big Joe" and we always will. I know that a cookout isn't the same without you. I love you and miss you buddy. Give my mom a hug in heaven for me.

Denny Quinn

April 12, 2008

It's hard to believe it's been three months. I am sitting here with Christian now and he is drawing and he says, "Uncle Joe is a better drawer then me"...and I just filled up. He misses you very much. I miss you very much. We think about you every day. He is really developing a talent for drawing and it's good to see your passion in him. We all love and miss you every day....xoxoxox

Kelly

March 19, 2008

It's been almost three months since you left us and wish it got easier. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas watching the kids open up all their gifts..gosh you were so good to us all and we miss you everyday...it's times like this I wish I could turn back time and tell you one more time how special you are and how much we all love you..I love you very much...

Your "favorite" niece Kelly

February 29, 2008

Hi Uncle Joe..I think about you everyday, they say time heals all but the pain just hasn't let up..we miss you more then words can say and have peace knowing that you are resting well and are with grandmom. It's just very sad to know on those summer days when I come down my moms you won't be on the corner playing chess, that you'll never get to teach Christian all your cool tricks or just to touch his life more with your spirit...I love you very much and miss you dearly..

Joe Walsh,,,damn i cant believe that your gone already it felt like yesterday that you were around for new years doing what u usually do is mess around and do some magic tricks,,,and now theres gonna be no more of that which sucks,,ur gonna be missed Uncle Joe

Meghan Bollendorf

January 17, 2008

I will never forget the first time I met you a few years ago. We were outside Mr. Miller's and you were making your ring disappear. I kept asking you to do it over and over hoping I may figure out your secret as I watched in amazement. I remember asking Suzy who you were and she was like that's my Uncle Joe with a smile. I could have sat there all night watching your magic tricks and laughing at your jokes. Your the only one that humored the idea of letting me play Dungeons and Dragons with the boys. You also made working at Moffet a lot of fun. I was just like one of the kids surrounding around you while you drew different pictures while listening to your head phones. This pass summer I remember sitting on the bench during camp with no one to talk too because Richie and Susan were down the shore and you sat next to me on the bench and you just made me laugh. I will miss those times and most of all I will miss you. You were everyone's Uncle Joe. An angel that will never be forgotton...:)

Joe and the guys at the PPA.

Mark McGrath

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Ashley Nilan

January 16, 2008

God knowing that Heather will never be able to see those magic tricks and hear your jokes pains me. The greatest gift you could ever offer someone is the gift of laughter and happiness and you served it with no problem. I remember the day my pop passed and you were the only one that could get me out of that tree, you talked to me and made the pain a little more easy to bear. You made me smile and I'll never forget. A man so great and so young should have been able to stay a whole lot longer. Even though god took you for a reason we will never understand but with all the best intentions, we fell it was all to soon. I thank you for spending this New years with me, You sure rang it in style, those 5 words i hear all so clear "Thats uncle joe to you!" its true though you never realize what you have until its gone. A lesson learned all to well. For the family my heartbreaks a lose so great way to hard to think it would be you wed say goodbye, my eyes hurt form the tears I've cried. But I will leave you with this something that will stick with me forever and probably pass it down,
"I'm cold", "well I'm joe nice to meet you!"

Joe Weltz

January 16, 2008

Joe, I still can't believe that you are gone. It seems like yesterday when we were down the shore or just hanging out.You were a good friend and will be missed. You have a place in all our hearts. When you are looking down on us, remember, you are always in our thoughts.

January 15, 2008

Hey Joe,
For once in my life, I'm at a loss for words. You always said I talked so much that I wore your ears out, bet you're proud now that you were the one who shut me up!

You were one of kind, Joe, and I'll never forget the long walks, the Halloween costumes, the way you drove me crazy with your goofy thoughts and ideas. In my mind, I'll forever see you with your arms propped on my front window sill, calling me to come and talk to you.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Suzy Walsh

January 15, 2008

I still can't believe that you are gone. I was just hoping it was one bad dream and that soon I would wake up but it's not. I wish you didn't have to go so soon but I know your with grandmom. I am going to miss you soo much. You always knew how to put a smile on anyones face even if they were in a bad mood. I am so glad that I got to spend Christmas and New Years with you one last time. It will be something that I will remember forever. Your a great guy and you will be sadly missed by everyone especially me. I love you Uncle Joe!

Love,
Suzy Magoozi (niece)..haha
