Joe was one of the nicest men I have ever met, always greeting you with a smile snd his great personality. He will surely be missed.
I was saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. I was Blessed to have married his niece Janet and considered him my Uncle. He will be missed both by both of us and will forever be in my prayers.
Uncle Joe May You Rest In Peace. May God give Your Loving Wife and all Your children and grandchildren the strength to move forward.

Words cannot express our feelings for Joe and his family. He was a fantastic person a friend a mentor and like another brother to me. He will never be forgotten. May God Bless Carol, Lisa and Tommy and their families at this difficult time.
I enjoyed all our time working together back in the ‘90’s with Vantage and Hitachi, all the way until 2018 with Tom and the SSI gang. That morphed into many golf games from Vegas to New Jersey. Joe had a heart of gold and shared his happy demeanor everywhere he went. That big smile was contagious! 🙏
