    As my mind is still processing the shock of Joe’s passing, I have been taking the time to remember all of the hours of conversation and fun we had over the years. I always knew Joe was the person to call on when I wanted to drag someone to a festival, play (especially musicals), wineries, the zoo or any other random outing I was interested in. I will never forget the help he would provide me when dealing with my sister’s long term illness or our very frank conversations. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his loved ones in this time. I know he will be missed by more people than he would have ever imagined.

    I am so saddened by Joe’s passing. I loved his dry sarcastic humor, ability to make light if any situation and make you smile. His presence at 66 has been much missed. He will forever be part of conversations reminiscing over good times gone past. So glad you were a part of so many good times! Cheers dear friend!

    I will definitely miss Joe but will cherish all the laughs and jokes we shared. We could talk about any and everything. It is still hard to believe we won’t have any more talks. He made a mark for sure as a one of a kind, funny and caring person. I will remember him always!

    Uncle Joe, I hope you’re resting peacefully. This week has been one of the hardest times of my life. I hope you’re happy with the decisions I’ve made for you.
    I’m thankful I got my sense of humor, and quick come backs from you! You were such a big influence in my life growing up. I’m sad Hailey won’t get the same experience, but I promise I’ll make sure she knows about you.
    Thank you for teaching me how to not care what others think, how to flip the bird and how to have fun in life.

    I’ll love you forever.

    Every single day you were not with me
    I thought about you.
    I wondered what you were doing.
    I prayed that you were safe.
    I wished you a Happy life.
    My love always followed you.
    Whether you wanted it or not.
    For ever and ever.
    My tears will always fall in despair for the loss of you in my life.
    Not having the opportunity to have you in my life leaves my heart crushed.
    Although you are gone you live right here in my heart.
    Because you were and will always be my “Boy” always be my Child.

    It was my pleasure to be a long-time friend of Joe’s. We met in a casual place and became casual friends. We just enjoyed hanging out and I liked his easy, friendly demeanor. Over time, we became really good friends. As most people will tell you, I don’t make friends easily. I’m glad Joe got to be an exception.

    He will be missed by me and by all his family and friends.

    Godspeed, Buddy

    So sad to here this news. Joe was one of the nicest, funniest caring guys I knew. Working with Joe left me with joy and the times we laughed about how cool his hair always was. Even when running into him around town was always a pleasure. Prayers and comfort to the family.
