So sorry to see this. Joe was a dear family friend whose kindness and humor will surely be missed. We regret that we will not be able to honor him on Sunday as we will be out of town. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will forever be in our hearts.

My regrets to Joe's family. We were friends for decades. Unfortunately we will be waking our own daughter Sunday who passed two days ago at 43 years old.

I knew Joe thru his work with the Narragansett Lions. We didn´t interact on a large scale, but I could tell he was the real deal. I was always proud to work alongside him.
