Joyce, Nancy, MaryAnn and Family, it hurts to know that Joe's living body is no longer on this earth, but to know that his spirit, energy, memories, and love continues strong and remains with us while we are here. Joe is a great man. He is a great friend and a model that I always looked up to. He always had nice toys. The Roadrunner. The Penton's. The Harleys. The Grady. His love of the outdoors. His love of life and laughter and Family. His kindness.
He stands for many good things and his spirit will always remain with me.

Joyce, Nancy and MaryAnn,
Needless to say I am shocked and truly saddened hearing of Joe's passing. As you well know, Joe and I were glued at the hip from early days at St. Joachims' til after High School. Our lives took us in different directions but we always remained great friends.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you and Joe's children and relatives.
Joe will always hold a special place in my memories and I will miss him greatly.
Pete & Bev

Joe was my rock at IBM for years - I could always rely on him for an understanding ear, great advice and interesting stories. He adored his family and was so proud of you all. What a great person he was. He leaves a huge hole in our lives. My sympathy to you all.
