He was so happy to reconnect with the girls. It made his last days, remarkable.
Joe was a great guy and a true friend to all who knew him. His kindness and generosity was abundant and I will never forget his sense of humor or all the fun times we had cooking wings on Thursday nights at Snuffy’s years ago. Rest easy my friend ❤️
He will surely be missed
I remember you from when I was young, playing with Krissy, Susie & Joey! You were always smiling! You will be missed!

Sue, Barb and David my sincere condolences. Joe was a good guy but he also was one of a kind. Joe was my manager in the mailing warehouse for over ten years. When you work with someone for that long, you have a few stories to tell. Hopefully I can relate them to you at Joe’s celebration. One is about a cast and the other is about a concert.
We cannot wait to hear the stories!
My sympathy to Sue, Barb, Dave, Joe surely was a good guy. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. May God comfort now an in the days ahead. Rest in Peace Joe. You will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Sue, Barb and Dave. Joe was a great guy, fun to work with, always had a smile. He will be missed.
Barb, Sorry to hear about your brother Joseph. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you my friend. Mary Sowa
