A special person remembered and a beautiful life honored.
We feel especially blessed by having you and Joe in our lives. We always looked forward to y'all coming down for your holiday.
Always enjoyed visiting with you both, going to lunch or sitting and talking.
We will always have Joe on our hearts and you as well Marian!
Please let me hear from you and I pray that you will be back in our little beach community again.
Prayers for strength, comfort and peace.
We love you,

My deepest condolences to Marian, Lorie and Wendy and families.
How lucky you all were to have such a wonderful, loving, fun and beautiful man to call your husband, and the girls to call dad.
Joe was by far the coolest dad I had ever met in my entire life. I will never forget all the great times I was included in with your family. The trips to the Black Swan to listen to the blues, the music in your basement on Hortop Court. This is where I first fell in love with your family. I remember sitting at your kitchen table and writing a pretend check to buy your house because I loved it, but I realize now it wasn’t the house I loved, it was the family I loved. The visits to your wonderful winter home in Florida, watching Joe and Marian dancing together in the living room with the music turned up and feeling the love fill the room. Being in the backseat with Joe driving Indy style wondering if we were going to end up against the wall before we reached our destination.
Joe I hope you can look down on your friends and family and know you were the best person you could have been while you were here on earth. What a great example for the rest of us to live our lives. Smile, love, crank the tunes and put the petal to the metal and enjoy the ride.
You will most certainly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving you.
Michelle

Marian, Lorie and Wendy:
Expressing heartfelt sympathy and offering a prayer that God above will comfort you and ease the loss you bear. Your heart has been broken but the precious memories of this 'amazing man Joe' will carry you through this difficult time. Your loss is shared by many who knew Joe. Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache but those of us who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind.
Tony and I are so thankful we met Joe, but most of all it was so wonderful to see how much he loved 'Marley'. Marley waited for Joe every morning on our porch. Marley's excitement to see Joe come around the corner on his daily walk was something we will alway remember.
Joe, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being a wonderful friend. We will forever miss you.
Anna, Tony, Mumma and 'Marley'

I was so saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. I never knew him personally but I felt like I did. He regularly walked by my house where my dog Molly eagerly waited. Molly will miss her daily visits and treat and I will miss his kind demeanour. So sorry for your loss. Treasure your memories..I have a feeling he left you with some great ones.

Our deepest condolences to you Lorie on the passing of your father. He was such a fun and sweet man and loved to play that accordion! He always had a smile on his face and his family was his world.
I will be away this Saturday but will be thinking of you all and sending supportive hugs to you, your dear Mom and Wendy.
Love Nadine & Family
