Uncle Joe by all means was my favorite uncle,I will never forget how happy he was to find out I was having a baby. At first while everyone worried if I could do it, I knew all along Uncle Joe wasn't worried,he called every hour during labor to make sure his niece was doing ok. The first two visitors I had were uncle Joe and Dad(Mike)he couldn't wait to see my daughter and when I saw him he told me he was proud of me. And to hear that from my uncle meant the world to me,I just found a charm given to me by him one christmas. "It says # 1 Niece". I will wear it everyday and when Gianna is old enough she will wear it.He only knew her for 4 months, but I know she was one of his favorite girls already. That charm means more to me now, than it ever did. I know how much I meant to my uncle and that's what helps me get through everyday. I love you. Alicia and Erin I love you, and I am glad we have been spending more time together. I know daddy is smiling on us. I'm forever there for you two.
Your Niece Leah Ago & Baby Gianna

I still miss you Joe. For some reason I just can't get over this feeling of lonliness I have. I know you tell me to toughen up and get over it but the earth seems desolate with out you here.
I will think positive and go to sleep and tell myself that tomorrow will be a good day. I will continue to think positive as you taught me. I hope everyone else can do the same because I know you would have wanted goodness to come from your death and all to learn from your accomplishments and from your mistakes. I will start to get over my greif and move on forward with life. Miss ya!

Last weekend I was asked to help build a sundeck. There were four of us present for the task at hand and none of us were capable of swinging a hammer or reading a ruler. The bright orange truck arrived and dropped off a large pile of soaking wet PT. Since I was the lead hack, we started laying out a plan and began cutting. Typical of any project, we quickly ran into issues requiring us to stop and discuss what to do next. I had some idea of what to do next because I spent half a year with Joe on Pine River Pond in Wakefield. We met every Friday in Groveland and went to the lake house. On Pine River Road we stopped and picked up a 30 pack for the night. They had the coldest beer in Carroll County. At about 5:30 the next morning we were standing in the parking lot of the Wakefield Diner waiting for the place to open. After breakfast we stopped for another 30 pack and began working on the summer home. This went on for months. I was constantly running back to the Green van to get tools. We did doors, windows, sliders, steps, decks, and docks. While the four of us were building the deck last weekend, I found myself constantly telling the other guys, “Joe did it like this” and “Joe told me to do it like that”. I did not realize I was doing it and how much I learned until someone pointed it out to me. I am thankful for the times we had together. Joe will be a part of us for the rest of our lives.
Sincerely,
Chris

More like my child than my brother, this has been unbelievably difficult. Most always with a smile, and an 'I Love You', rarely able to say no, someone everyone remembers after only one encounter, and most often trying to look out for me, even though I was the eldest-that's how I think of you, Joe. You will always be with me through memories, and through your two daughters, who allow you to be here with me, and all those who loved you.

“Who’s ya Buddy?” you’d always say, and I miss ya buddy. Joe, I miss you so much. Everyone misses you. I can’t help reading all this without tearing up again. I’ve thought of writing so many times; perhaps it was hoping we would all wake up from this very bad dream, and you would be right here with us building the fire, laughing, going out in the boat, havin’ a beer, smilin’, laughing, leaning on my shoulder, laughing some more, or doing some of that handy craft you were so good at, for those friends who you loved, and did what you could to help.
That whole place should have been a receiving line for you Joe. Everyone who knew you lost a good friend. I miss ya buddy, Lots of people really miss you...
Thanks for taking me to the woods, for teaching about that elusive whitetail, gutting out my deer, and for all the fun times since I was fifteen years old, lots of really, really fun times. I can’t believe you’re gone, but I know none of us our getting out of this alive, and that you’re making things ready for us on the other side. I’ll do what I can as an Uncle to remind Alicia and Erin to keep being the women who will always make you proud. I know how much you loved my sister Kerri, and how proud of Alicia and Erin you are, and were that day. I know you were there on one of those warm sunbeams, shining down on all of us, and that everything is OK. We’ll all see you at the Happy Hunting Grounds or That Big Camp Fire in the Sky.
'til then I’m holding on to: (John 3:16 / Romans 5:8 / and Ephesians 2:8&9) your buddy, Jo-Jo

Joe,
Its a bit lonlier trapped on this planet without you. But ur services were beautiful and you'll be happy to know that Alicia and Erin said some really great things for you. They'll miss you so much as will all of us.
You always took time to say hello to me and make some conversation even tho we were totally different people. Im reminded of when you used to babysit me and Id get in trouble for hangin with gram back when you looked like meatloaf the singer LOL. So many memories; thats how we will carry on, by keeping you in our hearts.
You take care now. At least I know ur in a better place. No more pain or stress or hunger or problems. In a way I envy you but I know ur here with us in spirit.
See you soon and tell GOD I have a "Get Out Of Hell Free" card >{=O)
Love ya

Hey Uncle Joe, when you get there you be sure and tell god to move over, cuz now you're The Big Guy up there. I hope you liked the motorcycles being lead car today, it just seemed so right to me. I know this means you're now supposed to be going to a better place, but I don't how much you're gonna get to take with you. It seems to me there are so many people here that are going to hang on to a very big piece of you. Hey what other sized pieces of you would there be eh? I love you Joe, I always will. Thank you for being you.

My deepest sympathies to the family. Although I never met Joe, the kind and loving words left by others show he was one-of-a-kind. His grandparents, Uncle Walter and Aunt Van, were very special to me growing up. I'm sure he embodied many of the wonderful qualities that made them so special to so very many people.
Alicia and Erin, losing your dad is difficult, no matter what age, but remember each day how much he loved you and how much he was loved by others. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family.

Kerri, please keepin touch. My Mother sends her love and prayers to you all. Catherine sends her love. She will be in touch. Love, Paula

Uncle Joe:
I was with you this past week. I took you in for surgery and back. I helped you out the best I could. I am so happy that I was able to spend those few days togeather.
You told me many, many things this past week. I am glad you could confide in me. I told Alicia, Erin, and Kerri all the good things you said about them. I wish you could have stayed longer to tell them yourself. It's so hard with out you. I am glad you were in New Hampshire where you would have wanted to be. I know you were happy those last few days. It was funny at Mass General when I was bringing you home. And I asked the 4 receptionists if there was a big guy up here crying all day through his surgury. There response was, as you walked out, "This guy, didn't cry at all." They knew how brave you were. You taught me many things Joe and I will always remember you.
Love Your Nephew,
Eric

Ever since I first met Joe the generosity that he had for people and for his family was always very apparent. He constantly talked about his girls and of how proud he always was of them. He beamed when he spoke of them. I always enjoyed working with Joe. He was always willing to share his vast construction experience, from working up at Jack's camp to working for Rumpf, and at Revere Housing Authority. If we all took a little bit of the kindness that Joe gave, this would be a better world. We'll miss you, Joe! God Bless!
Love, Will and Sharon Moore

Everybody loved him because how could you not,
He was the nicest guy, andthats what i thought,

I am sorry I didnt get to say goodbye

Now you will feel no rain
Now you will feel no cold
Now there is no more loneliness for you
But there is only one life before you
Go now to your dwelling place
April 25, 2002
REASONS
Glass Shatters, and so do the dreams
Of millions of people it seems.
Water flows and so do words
From the mouths of fast talkers.
Noise, it comes from all around
Man creates it with every sound.
Silken threads, like the weaves in one's hair
Looks so good if you take care.
As smooth as satin, pearly white
How great it is to see with good sight.
For everything there is a reason
For everyone there is a season.
Rest in Peace Joe.
