Joe was my cousin, his dad Subby was my dad's older brother. I remember laughing and joking with Joe the last time he was in town. My prayers go out to my Aunt Theresa and all of Joe's family. Christine and son Jeremy Joseph (JJ)

I had the good fortune to land on Joe's bowling team over a decade ago. It didn't take us long to go from being team mates to friends, then fishin' partners, then to best buddies. No matter what we were doing, we always enjoyed our time together -- even if it was 20 below and blizzarding while we were attempting to fish the river. You'd never catch either one of us not smiling just hangin' out together. He was a truly a special guy and will be missed immensely.

Joe was a great friend and source of support to me in work and in advice on life. I find it hard to express in words how special he was, his smile says it all. Joe, we will miss you greatly. Thank you for your friendship.

Joe Greco loved his family, loved to fish and always wore a big smile to work. We've missed seeing Joe these past few months and are so sorry for his loss. Joe and his family are in prayers.

Joe was my business partner and good friend for 6 years - we had a great working relationship based off of trust and respect - no agreement was needed other than our handshake and strong commitment to make us both sucessful. I'll miss his kind easy going nature, his love of the outdoors and fishing (and the trout he always shared), his constantly expressed love and concern for his family and friends, and his companionship as we traveled around doing our real estate work. Rest easy Joe! We'll all miss you in so many ways.

I didn't know Joe for very long but I found him to be one of the bravest, kindest and most gracious gentlemen I have ever met. I know that he will be sorely missed by his dear family and great friends. Apart from the kindness he showed me, Joe was an inspiration. Heartfelt and sincere sympathy to you all at this time.
