Dearest JC, That's how Joe always said your name, also you were the closest, bestest sister ever. I met you many years ago, you were always very kind to me. It breaks my heart, I did not know until now about Joe. My kindest best wishes, prayers are with you and the family.

I knew Joe for 2 yrs...he was such a great and big personality. But, Joey showed me so many amazing sites...not just the glamorous stuff, but kite flying with Keith & Kari, (didn't really work out, no wind), but pool parties w/ kids, once we even did a picnic.

So very sorry, I'm still trying to process this, so very sorry. Words will never convey my sorrow.

My heart is breaking, I did not know. Yes, it's over 33 yrs later that I knew Joey, but, to find out now ..well,
I'm so dreadfully sorry. I did love him, with all the heart of a 23 yr old......I am so very sorry I'm just finding out now.

Yes, JC, I did love Joey. I find out on internet...breaks my heart. I sincerely hope that Keith & Kari, grandkids are well and you as well.

Take care, and thanks JC for being so nice to me so many years ago.

i will miss feeding him. as i did his whole life and sending doggy bags home for him and his freinds.

Kari and Keith, thank you for sharing this most intimate time in your lives with us. I remember when I first met you and Keith thanks to your aunts Wendy & Jacy two other great people!

What beautiful and precious kids /people you both are. I know your dad just beamed with pride at the two of you, and how you humbled him. He loved you both dearly and it was such a joy not to mention great laughs, to see you all together at different times over the years.

He, like you, will always be remembered for the laughs and tears and I truly am blessed to have known all of you.

My love, hugs, and prayers go out to you & your family during this difficult time. Love you guys xoxo

Kari and Keith,

As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens and hold tight to memories for comfort. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

You always had a smile for anyone that you came across - You had a way of looking at life that maybe not everyone could understand but I feel that I have learned something from that. When I was only 14 you let me drive your car, you insisted...I was afraid to and you said "Lisa, I trust you" - I will miss you but I will not say goodbye for I know I will see you soon (for Breakfast). I love you.

My world will never quite be the same, without my Big Poppa in it! My dad definately had a "presence" about him that was like noone i have ever known before. Calm, fair, non-judgemental, loving, helpful, playful, funny - are words I think of that describe my dad. The past 10 years that I have really gotten to personally know my dad, I will cherish forever, and our family will never be the same. Love you pop! See you again some day.
