All of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish is diminished without Joe sitting in the corner of a near-front pew, smiling and shaking everyone's hand. He was an inspiration to all. Good memories, Ann and Sean. Love and prayers.

Joe was one of the great friend of my life in high school and during our college years and into our twenties. I regret having lost touch with him over the past decades, but I remember him fondly and with gratitude and will keep him and his family in my prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about Joe. We worked together for 15 yrs at National Geographic. Joe was such a great guy. Smart, interesting, with sometimes such a wicked sense of humor. He has been much missed here. I am sorry to have not gotten the details in time to attend his service. I wish his family all the best
