Dear Sherri and family,

I was so sad to read about the death of Joe. While I did not really get to know him, I worked along side Sherri at Ramona High School.

I send my sincerest sympathies for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Renee Rowan

I am very sadden to hear of your familys' loss. Some of my best memories of Wisconsin were the summers playing softball at Franksville Park. Besides being a tallented athlete with great sportsmanship, you could tell that Joe was well on his way to becoming a wonderful person. I hope that the short time he was given was filled with much love and happiness and your cellebration of his life will last forever.

Joe was my former roommate and my long time friend. I have never met anybody more talented than Joe- he could do anything and do it with an amazing artistic style. He loved his wife and his boys and he loved life. We had some good laughs in the past and I'll miss him. We used to just bounce ideas off of each other all the time- "what do you think my turning this deck into a sun room"- that sort of thing. My heart goes out to Sherri, Max and Danny- he was kind man and a wonderful friend.
