I am so very sorry for your loss! Joe was such a great guy and was always so good to all of us neighborhood kids! Such a great sense of humor, so kind and patient, and always willing to sharpen all our skates on the way to the ice rink. :) I have no doubt that his presence is deeply missed. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Joe, I will miss your wonderful smile, your giving nature, always willing to help wherever and whenever. You are the epitome of a GOOD MAN. I regret not visiting you during your final journey, I pray you may forgive my failure. You and Margaret raised a wonderful family. You instilled the true values in your children: love, faith and kindness. May you always keep a watchful eye on us Lions to be sure we are not messing up. Our club will always prosper due to your creative and innovative ideas. Clare and I will always remember your friendship and kindness. Thank you for having touched my life.
