Can't believe that Joe has passed on 13 years ago. The "good die young" applies to this person. He always went out of his way to help people including my own mother.

Joe was truly one of the nicest men I have ever known. I always picture him smiling. He was unfailingly friendly, and always went the extra mile. I write these things in sorrow, and yet grateful for the love he gave Marilyn and his family.

We wish Marilyn and her family our deepest sympathy. Joe was one of the most likeable persons we knew. We fondly recall how he helped Keith's mother whenever her TV would go on the blink. We remember our many conversations on investments and his desire to make sure Marilyn would be taken care of financially when he was gone. Joe....you were the best.
