  6. My deepest condolences to the Tansey family. It's been a while since I last saw Joe but some memories of him quickly come to mind. He and I would smile and shake are heads during pop warner football at Cliffside Park #6 school when Joe's dad would yell at us for goofing off or when he would try to pump us up before a game. Another memory that comes to mind is during freshman football practice at BC. It was while I was returning a punt. Joe caught me by surprise and knocked me clean off my feet. He greeted me with a smile while I was on the ground collecting my thoughts about what just happened. He will be missed. Rest in peace buddy.
