So sorry to hear about Joe, he was a wonderful man. I knew him from cardio rehab and he always would talk about his family with great pride. We had a lot of great conversations and many laughs also. I will forever miss you Joe. Prayers for your family. Joanne Cheshire
As a cousin, Joe was a wonderful addition to our family. Ro and I are first cousins and have shared all life events through the years. Will miss Joe always being helpful and fun to be around…..my airport limo when I flew, and tremendous help with caring for my mother’s house and well being. As he rests in peace, we are comforted to have had him in our lives.
Dear Grasta Family, This is the saddest news. We gym members @ cardiac rehab have missed him so over the last few years . It was wonderful to hear he had come up for a visit a few months ago. Now this. He suffered so much for far too long. Joe was so full of fun and good spirits, trading barbs with everyone. The first to get a card ready to send to someone ill. So proud of his sons. So worried about his wife’s health while taking care of her parents. He’d drive anyone to an appointment, to lunch . He and "Little Joe" and Enzo will be glad to see each other again to trade the stories and the laughter. We are so, so sorry for your loss . ..
Rose, Tony and Chris, Our hearts are broken at the loss of our dear friend. There are so many wonderful memories of times at the cottage, the guys hunting and just wonderful times together. We will always keep the memories and you close to our heart. You couldn’t help but love Joe George and Linda Hardy
So so sorry for your loss. Joe was a wonderful human being. So full of fun and humor. May he rest in peace.
Ro, we were so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. We will remember his warmth and kindness. He was easy to talk to and had a wonderful sense of humor. We’ll be thinking of you and your boys during this difficult time. You are in our prayers….
