Joe was a wonderful guy. I remember dancing with him at Lynne and Dan´s wedding. He was a great dancer. Wes and I were so pleased that Lynne married into such a wonderful family. Jean, Lynne´s Mom

I was very fortunate to have Joe as my father in law. He was the most kind and humble man I´ve ever met. He always greeted me with a warm smile and a hug.

Joe loved all New England sports and was a regular at Celtics and Red Sox games. He would gift tickets for all the family to enjoy games.
Notre Dame football also held a special place in this heart.

Joe was a story teller and they were the best stories. My favorite times were around the holiday dining table, his wife opposite of him and his daughters on his either sides. It was the most beautiful site. One particular story would come up year after year and would always bring roaring laughter.

Joe loved Kennebunk, Maine where they had a "family house". A house he and Claire bought near the beach for each family to enjoy in the summer months. Off season Joe loved early morning walks to get the paper, golf and dine with Claire. So many happy memories in that house.

Joe was the patriarch of our family and we all will continue to make him proud. He will forever be loved and missed.

Love, Lynne (Dan´s wife)
