I grew up with Joe, loved him and his mom and dad, his mother Martha was like a second mother to me. Big Joe was my dad best buddy. We had lots of wonderful times together. Sorry to hear about his demise. May God bless all those of his family that he left behind. Many prayers and blessing to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was always such a great person. I will miss chatting with him about his family, his love for this country as a veteran, I enjoyed the stories of his parents' being veterans themselves. The stories of his travels with his friends and family, and yes, food!!! He always had something to share whether a story, counsel in life experiences, work, you name it, he'd give you the answer or guide you towards it. But my most fondest memory is his love of being a father. One year, I wished him Father's Day, just before that weekend. And I wished him a great day of being pampered and that he'd receive awesome gifts. He responded he enjoyed being able to give gifts to his son's on that day because if it wasn't for them, he would not be a father........that is so very true. If we didn't have children, we would not be able to celebrate Mother's Day, Father's Day or even Grandparent's Day. I am so very happy to know he was able to meet his Grandbabies, I bet this was one of the best gifts of all!!! May you rejoice in the Lord's Presence Joe, I will miss you dearly, but never forget the friendship and the lessons learned through you. Many blessings to his family and friends, may you be showered with all the strength and comfort during this time and always.
Joe, restaurants, and Flying Saucer Pies...I will miss you greatly.
My heart is breaking with this sad news. Joe really was one of a kind and Buzz and I loved him dearly. I fondly remember when the two of them were in the hospital at the same time not so long ago and seeing both of them strolling down the hall in their backless gowns. On their way to see each other. Embarrassed? Not those two. I don't know which one of them was the most fun-loving and ornery. And I know Buzz greeted Joe with a big hug and a hearty handshake when they were together again to misbehave in heaven. I hope someone told God to get ready for this duo. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Nancy, and to all your family and friends. What a blessing it was for us to have had Joe as a friend.

I have many fond memories of Joe. Our trips & funny tricks he played on Nancy. I loved our long phone conversations. Most of all his laugh. I will always remember him.
