Mark I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was a great guy and he left us far too soon. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. We will keep you in our prayers.

Joe, thankyou for dropping everything when I came over and needed help putting my barbecue together. I will NEVER forget your kindness! We had so much fun that day. Also, when we worked at your cousin Richard's piano store, that was a time I will never forget! I bet we could have sold even more piano's. You'll be missed!

Dear Mark, I am so sorry for your loss.  Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.  Beth Hall

Joe, You will be greatly missed. I will always remember you with a smile, my shoe lovin' friend

Uncle Joe, 50 years of memories rushing thru my mind. But one thing they all have in common is the laughter. So many times getting together with you and Mark, we would laugh so hard that I could not breath. Oh what I would give just to hear one more laugh. Till we meet again.

UJ I could write an entire short story on here, and still not begin to scratch the surface of how much you meant to me. My only blood uncle, Dad's only blood brother. There is a special bond between an uncle and nieces/nephews, especially when you were the only one. I think of you every time I type in my E-mail, and every time I pick up my schecter. Your love for music was one to be shared with everyone. I know you already know how badly this is hurting me because I talk to you in my head every day. I'm so sorry I turned around that last time I was going to come over in Dad's truck. The black keys will forever remind me of our jam sessions in your basement and you extreme excitement of new guitars/toys in general. I miss you so much UJ, I feel like the pain is so strong that it will never fully subside. Please keep all of your fellow angels laughing until their guts hurt, like you never failed to do since I was barely old enough to understand puns and corny jokes. I love you UJ I will carry on your memory for as long as I have life in me. Rest In Peace <3

Dear Bro, I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that you are not here with us anymore. I know that you are in a better place where pain and sadness doesn't exist, but it certainly does exist here without you. For the first time in my life I cannot pick up the phone and hear your voice at the other end saying "What's up Broman?" 
      Whenever I see a Robin or meet a cool dog or cat, whenever I hear the putt of a Harley or a guitar solo; you will be my first thought. I'm really gonna miss you Bro...Damn, I already do. Love ya, Mark

Uncle Joe, my childhood would have never been the same without you. From my first BB gun to the massive burnouts pulling out of our driveway, you always kept me entertained with a giant smile on my face. Your contagious laugh is ringing in my ear as i write this. I'll never forget the times we shared or the lessons you've taught me. I love you with all my heart UJ. I cant even put into words how much I'm going to miss you.

I didn't really get to know you Joe.......But in the short time that I knew you.....you made me laugh........I will remember you loving life.....music....dogs......and pretty women.  RIP dear friend.

Mr. Joe it is still unreal to hear you are no longer physically with us.  But I thank God for the memories my family and I will have of you.  You were a funny, caring neighbor and friend. I bless God for the relationship my family and I built with you and the time God allowed us all to be together.  Coming outside and looking over into your yard to hold a funny, laugh out loud conversation will never be the same.  You will always be a part of our hearts and forever missed.

To My Dear Friend: Wow Joe, Its hard to believe your gone. Im going to miss pulling in my driveway & seeing you & talking to you for hours (lol), Best Neighbor I ever Had, Great Guy, Funny & Smart as A whip ! Love You Bruh !

Joe ... I will sure miss you! You taught me to see and appreciate all the little things. You really had a zest for life and I know you lived it exactly the way you wanted to. I promise to pass down all those tricky little puzzles and challenges that you tested me with constantly. It wasn't "beginners luck". :) I'm glad you were my uncle. You are one of a kind and we will keep in touch in a different way now. I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you forever.
Tambo

 How i will miss walking out into the yard and hearing,"hey neighbor" and our talks over the fence. You were a wonderful neighbor for sixteen years Joe. You will be missed.

Dear Joe, you and I have been up, down, and all around. You were my brother from a different mother.  Music is the glue of life, as you and I know so well. Life is a gift, and you always made the best of whatever it handed you; because you understood that, and lived accordingly. I am thankful for what I have learned from you. I am thankful for all the good times we had. I am thankful that we became friends again after I dissed you for a few. I will miss you for now; but will see you on the other side someday. God bless you.

Uncle Joe, Sorry I didn;t come see you more when you were here. Now letting go its really baking my heart. Like they say{ you don;t know what you got til its gone. Thank-you for being such a great uncle, & a friend. I love you!!! miss you too. love wenz

Oh Uncle Joe, where do I even begin? I have memories of you being goofy from as far back as I can remember. You always had something extremely special and well thought out to give me for my birthday or Christmas. I'll never forget how you would watch me open my presents and then eagerly explain to me what exactly it was, while you began to play with it yourself. You always had a way of making me feel like I was the smartest little kid on the face of the earth. I always admired your strong love for your animals. I hope they are all with you now, happy to be back with their beloved dad. I love you UJ. You have played a large part of making me who I am today. I will miss you so much. But if it's one thing you taught me, it's to always live my life to the fullest. And that I will.

  
   Good bye sweet Brother. Thank you for fifty plus years of love, laughs and good times. You will be forever  in my heart and in my memories.You are in God's hands now. I love you!
                                                                          Lee

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

RIP BRO.  I will not forget the miles we rode , The laughs we shared,The good times we had. You will not be forgotten.

" ANOTHER OLD FRIEND GONE TOO SOON "
" YOU ARE GONE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN "
R.I.P. JOE
