Joe - What a wonderful friend you were for me.  I keep your email address alive so it helps me think of you when I see it.  You were not "just a friend", but a great mentor in my career as a motorcycle dealer as well as in my personal life.  Most men do not make many close lifetime friends - you were one of the few for me.  Our many long phone calls were so wonderful.  Love you, Joe  

Papa Joe. I miss you everyday, you were an amazing grandfather and an amazing human. It’s weird without you, I keep hoping it’s a mistake. I love you so much papa, I love all the memories we made and I miss your smile. Your smile was always so genuine and lovely. I love you Papa Joe. You are an inspiration and I know you are watching over me.

Joe, you were such a beautiful soul. I remember your sweet personality and warm smile. I also remember wonderful times at the Lake House which you so generously allowed us to enjoy. Heaven is lucky to have a new angel, Papa Joe.

Papa Joe
So many good times with you over the last ten years.  I looked forward to our golfing each week and this brought tremendous good times and lots of good laughs.  Loved your golf outfits which always brought a smile to my face.  We shared lots of “wisdom” and took care of each other.  I know that you got that "hole in one" above .  Mike

I miss you so much Dad.  Seems silly to leave a message here, but for some reason I can feel a bit connected to you! How I wish you could come back.  I love you Dad!  Be well.
