I first want to say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Joe, to his children, family, his girlfriend and true friends. I have lived most of my life knowing the Joe that so few of us got the chance to know. We were just 14 when we’d call each other up and say, start walking, I’ll meet you half way, to drivers ed, school dances, him coming to my dance recitals, graduation parties, 18th birthdays, the mustang. Joe always had a way that would awaken your senses. He could make you double with laughter on your worse days. He always showed up when I needed him, and he helped me any way he could. Then the challenges of life started to stack up and as much as I tried, begged and wished, the odds just kept stacking up. I gave Joe the benefit of the doubt and wanted him to know more than anything he was loved and worthy of love. He was one of my best friends for so long, and although our friendship could not survive the depths of addiction, I still very much prayed for and loved Joe. Joe, I pray you’re at peace now. I pray you are in the arms of your beautiful mom and grandmother and Jake is there with you. I will forever speak of the good you did in this world and how you tried your best. Til we meet again. Rest in Paradise.

I saw the good in Joe. We grew up together. Underneath his pain there was a good kind loving person. Unfortunately the disease destroyed him and ripped apart his family. We never lost touch. I\'ll never forget that last phone call we had. NEVER EVER HATE THE ADDICT HATE THE DISEASE. You\'ve given me another reason for me to continue my life sober. I\'ll always love you Joe. My family loved you too. 🙏 Be with God now This one really hurts

Can't believe that you are gone. The world seems less of a place now. I wish things would've turned out differently for you. May you find the peace in the next life that you couldn't fimd in this one. I remember for a few short years you were my best friend. I'm gonna miss you Uncle Joe. I remember you.
