Joseph Normand Baris

Joe Baris and his humor could light a room in the funniest way. I remember when I first met him he kindly explained to me the reason he worked at Lowes and if you know Joe you would know the story had funny twist and turns. Joe taught me the importance of a homes structure and told stories about when he contracted in NJ on many historic homes and buildings he would repair. He told me that just because something might be old it can still have life and become new again with the right guy for the job. lol When my house started to crack and settle you can know who I called for some advice. My heart is broken to have lost such a kind hearted man. My prayers for uplifting go out to Sharon. She is one of the strongest sweetest women I have met. I admire the strength she had to help make his last 6 months as he would laugh and say (2 years) as memorable as they could. Gaylord palms and The Jersey Lobsters will miss him. May you fly high my friend. We will always remember you.

Let me tell you a little something about my brother-in-law. This man is the reason I met my husband and have my wonderful children. Joe was one of the bet men I have ever met in my life. He was the perfect mate to my sister Sharon. Sometimes I think he's the only person who could make Sharon happy. He was kind, funny and had many stories to tell. Joe fought a very good fight with Sharon on his side every step of the way. Their love grew even stronger in the last 2 1/2 years. I had come down here to help Sharon with Joe many times (from RI) and also grew closer to Joe. I hope that Joe has a peaceful journey and all his family and friends have peace in knowing Joe has no more pain and suffering. Love you Joey!!!
