I stumbled onto this obituary while doing random search on Palmerton, PA my hometown.
I am saddened to hear that Joe is gone.
We were school and church buddies growing up, and I can only offer my prayers and condolences to the family.
I saw Joe last at our 40th High School reunion in 2007, but I shall look forward to meeting him again with the Lord someday. In the meantime, I will miss him.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
