I will miss Joe's ever present smile at 11 am mass with each coming and going. So kind and thoughtful to bring us the bulletin when we lagged behind in the choir. May God bless and keep him, until we meet again. This earth was a much better place with him in it. Heartfelt sympathy to all, Pat

Cathy- so sorry for your loss. Your brother was a sweet and kind man, who always made me smile when I saw him at Church. He will be missed.
