I am sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. Joe was a patient of mine who became a dear friend. I enjoyed his stories during the times I was treating him. He was a special man and I feel fortunate to have been touched by him. May his memory be eternal. I will miss him dearly. I will think of him every time I watch a White Sox baseball game!

May he Rest in Peace and be with God's Blessings.

Joe and Sue, My heartfelt and deepest sympathies to you , and your families. Joe (or Junior-as I knew him as ) was a very special relative to me. He was always kind and sincerely interested in me, and our family. I will greatly miss talking with him on the phone about life, the good old days and our families. Its hard to see the generation I grew up admiring fade away, but such is our fate too. I know he was ready, I hope you can take some comfort in that, at some point in the future. All my love and warmest condolences to you , and your great father. Frank Candela

Uncle Joe...from the first time I met you, what, 33 years ago...you were a wonderful conversationalist, always interested in what I had to say. Your love and loyalty for family, love of life and adventure...and oh your stories...I'm deeply saddened that I won't get to hear them anymore. You were a faithful, loving, adoring husband to my Aunt Janis. I can't express how much I'll miss you. Rest peacefully...until we meet again. - Pam Hill Wheatland, MO

To the family, Joe has had a special influence on my life. On Sunday when Jan joined Joe and the two of them held hands , what can I say. Joe loved Jan and Jan loved joe. Through the years . I've been fortunate to have some great conversations with Joe. I consider him to be one of my most important mentors. His wisdom, love of family and friends will be missed. For me, I will find peace knowing he sits in heaven. God be with you. Please save a spot for me. We have much more to discuss. Your friend Greg
