Joe is and will remain one of my favorite people in my life .  He was there for me when I needed some one the most. I could always count on him. If I needed advice I would call Joe. I believe he is in a better place still helping me  but as an angel. Joe will always be in my thoughts and memories for ever ... Until  we meet again Joe, I love you

I knew Joe through the old Macaroni Grill/Stingrays gang.  I was so saddened to hear about Joe's passing.  Prayers to the family.

My thoughts & prayers are with the entire Baal Family. I know Joe will be missed by all. My deepest sympathy

Joe Baal was an amazing friend who had the unique ability of making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. We were lucky to have had him in our life and as our friend...love you Joe.
God bless the Baal family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I only know the Baal family through my Dorn family, but I know it is a very sad time.  My heartfelt sympathies to Joe's family as they deal with this loss. God Bless you all as you heal and move foward.

I was acquainted with Joe through Mark Schwarzmann (USF and FFL), and he always treated me as a good friend. God's blessings to Joe and his family and friends - he will be missed.

My Heartfelt Condolences to the Baal Family~ 
I was blessed to have Joe in my childhood years & I will forever treasure those memories....Rest in Peace My Friend...You will be dearly missed by many xoxo

To my great friend,ex-neighbor,ex-roommate and the best fishing buddy:  your smile will always light up my life.  You may be gone but you will NEVER be forgotten.

Joe, You were such a wonderful person and my first true friend at USF. I'll never forget you and your family welcoming me to your home on my first visit to NYC. Although we haven't been in touch recently you will always be in my thoughts and memories, especially the unforgettable Joe Baal smile. Until we meet again....God Bless you.

Love the (Dorn) Stotler Family

God has choosen for you to be with him. To be an angel to watch over, and protect your family. You will be missed by so many.  God bless you Baal family. I didn't know Joe well but the memories I have of him was he loved his family and friends.

Joe, some of my fondest memories are the USF days and all of us guys together.
I'll remember that Joe Baal smile and that happy spirit. God Bless my Friend.

First thing, my thoughts and prayers along with the rest of my family's are with Joe and his entire family.

Been friends with Joe since the USF days.  So many memories from the New Year's Eve Party at his house in NY, playing softball together on several teams, 10+ years of Fantasy Football (and the many times he brilliantly trash talked everyone), and the most important one of all was that Joe was a groomsman in my wedding many, many years ago.  What I consider one of the most important days of my life, he was a special part of it.  I feel honored and blessed to have known him and he is only one of a few people that I can truly call a friend.

When we meet up again I am sure you will have another Dilbert story ready for me.

God Speed

To the Baal family,,
My deepest sympathy. So sorry for your loss. May God give all of you strength to get through this difficult time.

I will always remember Joe for his smile, his willingness to help or to listen to your problems and his generousity. If he was down to his last dollar, he'd still loan you 99 cents. He will be missed and remembered. Godspeed

Joe you will be greatly missed by many. You were taken from us way too soon. My deepest sympathy to the Baal family. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Baal family.  I am sorry for your loss.  Joe:  In the fall look below, as the terrible towels are waving... you will be thought of and missed by many.....

To the Baal family,
I started thinking of all the times Joe made me smile or laugh and there were so many.  Your family are some of the best people I have ever met and I am sorry for what you are going through now.  Stay strong.
Joe, you will be sorely missed and I feel lucky and privileged for the time that I got to spend with you.

Many great memories will keep you close to me my friend until we are joined again.  Say hi to Derek for me!

My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Baal family.  May you eventually find peace in the coming days.

You are in my prayers and thoughts.  I pray for God to provide you with strength and blessings at this time.

May God be with you all during this difficult time.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

To Mr.& Mrs. Baal, Thank You, for your son and the time I got to know him. He was shy at times and bold when he had to be, but a good person to those who he let be his friend,and I'd like to think I was one.I remember the day he showed me the picture of him in the newspaper at his I think his 1st Yankee ball game , he went to, he was so proud of that,and his watching me beat his score in bowling with 9 strikes in a row ,and glad for me and cheering me on,  But most of all he was a very private person and when he let you in he ment it.Thank You for Joe. Love, Linda Donegan. Go Steelers!
Go Yankees!

We will miss our friend,Joe Baal. He will always be the brightest star in the sky. Watch over us Joe! Till we meet again. Love you !

Joey, you were my roommate and my fraternity brother.  Although we have not been as close since college, I am devastated by your passing.  You will always hold a special place in my heart and in my memories.  phi phi

Marilyn, Joe, and Family our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of grief.  May all the memories you share bring you comfort.

To remember Joseph is to to remember his kind, gentle smile.  Proud to have him as our cousin.
With love,
Nancy Baal-DiLoreto & Family
