Joe, you meant the world to our entire family. You were like a son to my mother, Susie, a brother to me (Pat), and good friend (Tom). You gave us personal guidance as well as legal advice. We will really miss all those lunches and dinners with you, and all your fabulous recipes. Thanks for all the great memories,

How sad it is that a man of such talent, of an incredibly large capability for kindness, of great wit and humor, of such unusual intelligence, who could overcome all adversities with such truly admirable single-mindedness, who achieved greatness in many of the things in which he was capable, unfortunately died before he'd had enough fun in this world. He is a great man and will always be remembered as such.

I'll miss you Mr. J., but rest assured that your legacy lives on through Joe, Tom, Annie, Suzie, and Tim and all their children.
