Joe´s a comedic legend after having performed as Bunny during Santa Barbara´s run. He was thoughtful, kind and generous. He will be deeply missed. Sending hugs and prayers to his family and friends. RIP Joe.

I met Joe at LA Nicola´s the first time he met my roommate Jean Roth (Marinelli). Joe had a real spark and soon he was showing up at Jean´s house, where I was living at the time. Joe and I had many deep discussions about many topics around idk just being a human. He was a generous, deep thinker and very funny. Joe was honest, and real, a person who was passionate about others´ welfare. He really cared about everyone he came in contact with, he was so unselfish. I was so happy that Jean found him. The wedding was very beautiful and FUN just like Joe and Jean. Farewell Joe see you after here.

Joe and I went to the same grammar school, a year apart. When someone dared me to kiss a boy on the playground, I ran up and kissed Joe, and then ran away. He continued to bring that up every time I saw him, the first girl that ever kissed him.
I adored him. He was the most lovable person, so warm and joyful. His love for his family was boundless, and powerful enough to last forever. May it carry you through when missing him seems unbearable.
Love to you all, an so sorry you have lost him much too soon.
