Dear Joe, Eileen, Colleen, & Jen,
There aren't enough words to express our deepest sympathy to you. Joe was a very special person. He touched everyone who met him. It's not surprising, he was raised by two very special people. We will miss him very much. Our prayers are with you all. Love, Gloria and Dan

To my nephew Joe:
You were a wonderful person. Thanks for all the jobs you did on my house. Thanks for the trip to Wareham Shopping Center. Thanks for the roast beef sandwiches. I will miss you. Love, Aunt Theresa

Even though Uncle Joe was married into the family, I can't remember a time when he ever acted like it. Even when Kevin and I were very young and the two of you were just dating, he was eager to spend time with us. I always thought of you two as "the fun" aunt and uncle, who came hiking and ice skating with us kids. I still remember going to the haunted house and having to go back a second time because the line was so long, and in the end I only hid my face in Joe's shoulder as he had to carry me through the "terrifying" maze of monsters. Joe was always ready with a joke and a bag of candy to share. May the way Joe lived his life be an example to us all: Live life to the fullest, laugh, play, and always save room for junk food. :)
Love, Renee

Dear Aunty Eileen, Uncle Joe, Jennifer and Colleen,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Please find peace in knowing how much you were loved by Joe and especially in how much you loved him. There is a special bond between a child and his parents, a brother and a sister and a husband and wife. That bond will never be broken with you.
This just goes to show that God only takes the best. Joe was the BEST. May he rest in peace. We love you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. We lived on Bramble Way with our two boys prior to moving out of the area. I will always remember Joseph as a wonderful and caring young man. May you receive comfort and strength from your faith during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Joe was a great carpenter and more importantly a wonderful person. I so much enjoyed our talks on how to solve the world's problems as he worked on the many projects at our house. Having just lost my wife in June I know how you feel. She also loved talking to Joe as he worked. May your memories bring you comfort.
