Our memories are of a darling young man with a beautiful smile that was accompanied by his sparkling eyes. He had his Mom's wit and was a truly sweet person. As our children were growing up, Joe's friendship with our boys, especially Tim, was terrific. It was a delight to have him in our lives.
Sincere condolences to Joe's parents, brother and sister, and to his wife and son.
