What can I say.....Joe was my forever favorite. I could always count on his wry sense of humor and his personal take on the state of the world. No family gathering was complete without his sarcasm and editorial comments. He will truly be missed. I had no greater friend.

I always looked up to Joe. He so obviously enjoyed life and friends and family. He could always make me laugh. There's a little less light in the world.
