So sorry to hear about the passing of Joe he was my next door neighbor … I will always remember our discussions and laughter. May you Rest In Peace Joe and May God give your family strength during this most difficult time … GOD BLESS…
So sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He was a great neighbor. We will miss his great sense of humor and hardy laugh. Rest In Peace Joe ✝️
Many blessings to the family at this difficult time.
Sorry to have mistreated this kind sole in high school. I didn’t know better. He was sweet but different and I didn’t see him for what he was. I feel awful about my behavior so long ago and am saddened by his untimely passing. Wish I could have expressed my sentiments to you personally. God rest your sole.
My condolences to all the family and friends of Joe. I remember him well and fondly, as my brother, Ron's, close friend and band mate. He spent many years at our house and he was fun, humorous and an intense drummer! Rest in Heavenly Peace Joe. I hope you and my brother have started another band in heaven and are rocking out with the Angels!!!
