Dear Jane and family. It was with great sadness I learned of Joe's passing. Joe meant a great deal to everyone who knew him. Before it was Joe and Jane it was Joe running a long extension cord so he and his father could watch TV in the backyard (Gunsmoke) on warm summer nights. He was a master mechanic on his VW. And, for this little boy, he was the guy who fixed my bike and whatever else I broke (and I broke a lot of things). Many years have gone by, but the memories of this strong, kind man will go on forever. RIP Joe Tuohy. Ralph Fabrizio, Jr.
