Joe was a great friend of my family. Him and my significant other (Paul) was very close. Paul called joe his soul brother. Joe was a great guy. He is definitely missed.

Joe Joe, as my mother lovingly called him was a kind and loving man. I grew up with Joe as a loving brother to me and the University Suburban family. He was always there to give me advice and keep me entertained with his jokes! He was the son my mother never had! He greeted her with a smile and giant hug each day at work! We will miss our Joe Joe but his memory will never be forgotten!

I remember the good times we had with Joe. He would always have us laughing and smiling no matter what the situation was. I remember going ice skating with Joe the kids and my family. He would run real fast and slide across the ice it was hilarious. I have a few pictures to reminisce about Joe. He was a great uncle to my children and a great brother to have. We will all miss him. And condolences to his family and children.

I have so many favorite memories with my dad but my favorite is when he was there for the birth of my girls. It meant a lot to know that my girls would have him in their life, just like I did and would be able to enjoy his company and learn from him and he teach them and help them grow just like he did me and brother’s and be happy to call him papa J ,just how I was to call him my dad, friend, hero.Joe was was a very special person to me, we always talked. Really going to miss him and our talks or him just being around making us laugh. Love you dearly.
