I'm very sad to hear of Joe's passing. I don't think he ever met a 'stranger' or was ever without a smile. He embraced life with such zest that it became contagious. I'll be forever grateful for having been a part of his life. My deepest sympathy to all his remaining family. He was truly a good guy with and even greater spirit. May he rest in peace.

Tracey-   We are very sorry for your loss.  We always had so much fun with you both on the pier .  So sad.

Tracy,
I just heard about Joe, I'm so sorry I didn't know so I could attend the viewing.  My heart goes out to you....I love you.

Joe was my very best friend for many years. We had many many great adventures together. He had a good heart and was a generous man,kind to all. Friend or stranger,Joe would greet them with a smile. Joe will truly be missed by all who knew him.Rest in peace my brother.

Joe was something. He always made me smile. Every time I hear that song from Inxs One of my kind I think of him dancing and still makes me smile. When I walk to the edge of all the light I have and take that step into the darkness of the unknown I believe one of two things wills happen. There will be something solid for me to stand on Or I will be taught to fly. Fly my friend. I will miss you Joe.

"As long as hearts remember, As long as hearts still care, We do not part with those we love, They're with us everywhere." Donna, We are so sorry for your loss of your brother Joe and for JP's loss of his uncle. We don't remember a time when Joe wasn't smiling or laughing or having a good time. He will be missed.  Wish we could be there for you. Love you!

We are sorry for your loss.  In the brief time we knew Joe we came to love him and enjoy spending time with Joe and Tracy.  Kind, warm, fun, are only a few of how we would describe Joe.  He is with God now and we will miss him.

How deep the bonds were formed between us all early on in our childhood. A bond for all of eternity, my baby brother Joey....you will always be loved & missed by me. I love you?

My deepest condolences to Tracy, Donna and family. May Joe rest in peace. Love you.

We will miss you very much, Joe. You were a very good friend to me and Kelly. You will live in our hearts forever.

Donna, I very sorry to hear of the lost of your brother.  If there is anything I can do for you Sis, just let me know.
