March 16, 2021 at 7:53 pmJoe: Such a shock! I will miss you. I so enjoyed the times we got together and shared our life’s stories since high school and you met my beautiful puppy….We had such good laughs….everyone had good laughs with you…your sense of humor was hard to get away from…..I particularly enjoyed our bantering on email…..we sure could sling them back and forth. I haven’t seen you for awhile but you will remain in my heart and mind forever. I am so sorry you are not here anymore but I hope you are with your son Jamie now. God bless your soul! Share some of that humor up there in heaven.
Love, Rose Ellen

March 21, 2021 at 1:37 amMy deepest sympathy to Joanne, Lorraine and family. Joe was a lifelong friend. A special guy with whom I had many experiences; the leaf grinding incident, bartending at Vispi’s and searching for a place to locate his telecom company in Florida. I trust he has met his buddy Mikey Williams in Heaven proving the nuns wrong.
