Cindy, Joe and I were part of a trumpet trio in HS.
I tried to contact him, to no avail. He had an old coupe that he loved. He was a great kid and was a
great man. My sincerest sympathy. Ed Chernesky

Cindy, I am sorry for the loss of Joe. I often think of him and you on the ski trip to Zermatt. We had a good time skiiing together. I could not make the service today because I have health issues. God bless you Cindy.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Joe was always in the truest sense of the word a gentleman. He handled adversity with grace and calm even when a drunk driver drove thru a concrete building and hit his beloved boat! He will be missed.
