Dotty and family, I`m so sorry to hear of your loss. My friend Lisa also lost her beloved("Michael Woods") the same day as Joe`s passing which was on her birthday. A very sad day indeed. They were both wonderful people who I hope will both meet in heaven and have lots to talk about. I will always remember Joe`s kind hearted smile and gentle ways. May GOD be with you during this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. God Bless,

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Joe's mother and my mother were the best of friends, and Joe and I were playmates all through childhood. I found his obituary by chance when I was looking up someone else's! I do believe, though, that I God wanted me to know of Joe's passing.

Please be assured of my prayers.

Joe was a devoted and adoring family man. He was our friend and neighbor for 36 years. We'll miss his quick wit and easy-going manner.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Dotty, Maria, Gina, and the rest of his family. Our prayers are with you.

Uncle Joe, you will be greatly missed. Your kindness and gentle nature were a gift to all of us. Some of my fondest childhood memories involved you, because you so enjoyed being a kid. Rest in peace.



With Love,

I worked with Joe at Metlife, even in that short time I was aware of his generosity, his caring for his family and his love of his wife. I know he will be greatly missed.
