Mary Ann,
I am sorry to hear of Joe passing, sending prayers your way. It has been a long time since I have seen you and Joe but will always remember him as a very kind person.
I'm so sorry for you loss family. Joe was quite a man. He will be missed. I was looking at my FB last night, and I read some of his comments. I will miss his humor and smile. I know where I got my warped humor now. He shared himself with every life he touched. I love you all.??
Mary Ann,
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. It's been many years, but I do have some pretty good memories of time spent with you, Joe, & Chuck. Those were the Gold Cross years! You have my deepest sympathies.

Dear Mary Ann & Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss.
Mary Ann...my deepest sympathies to you and your children on the loss of your husband/father/grandfather. I have many warm memories of working with Joe for many years at IBM. He was a trusty co-worker and always had a great smile.
Sending lots of prayers and hugs your way.
I was trained by Joe to run the Bldg. 201 dock at IBM a long time ago, he was a very happy fun loving guy. My sympathies to the family.
Memories are the legacy of love. May those memories carry you through this difficult time.
Joe was a great guy, fun humor, and always willing to lend a hand. We will miss him at Valley View.
I am missing my brother, I don't want to say he is gone, then maybe it won't be true. I have so many good memories of him growing up and happy times as an adult I will cherish. It makes me feel so proud of him, when I hear from his friends, and family sharing how he touched their lives and made this world a little brighter. He loved his family-mom and dad, his brothers, and sisters, his wife, children and his grand children. He loved his cousins, Aunts and Uncles, his friends and neighbors.The fact is , is that he LOVED. We will all miss his humor, his laughter and his stories.
I remember Joe fondly and you Mary Ann. Spent good times together. Was sorry to read about his passing in the paper. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Saddened by the news of Joe's passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
The loss of Joe is really going to be an empty spot in many lives. We always enjoyed conversations when we saw each other out and about, and at the campground seeing Joe & MaryAnn driving up in the golf cart to have a nice visit. Our hearts are heavy, but the memories will always be with us. A special person to many, and hugs to all the family. We are sad for your loss.
RIP Joe, you will be missed at Valley View Camp Ground. There won't be a day you won't be missed by someone, because you touched so many lives. To Joes family, their has been a void created, but feel he will always be there in spirit if you need him.
So sorry for your loss prayers sent at this difficult time. You now all have a special guardian angel.
