Dear Lynn, Raymond and William, I just want the three of you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. I know how difficult this Christmas will be without Joe and I am asking God to help you get pass this and bring a peace to your heart that only our God can bring and remind you that Joe is in heaven and making the angels laugh this Christmas season. He loved his family and I ask God that love warms you today and brings tears of joy in knowing Joe celebrates Christmas with the King.
God bless you and I send you my love. Merry Christmas,
Michele

I worked with Joe many times in the last 19 years at McCormick Place. He was a great guy and we always had some laughs at work. He will be missed. My sincerest condolences.

Lynn, Raymond, William and family,
Our deepest sympathies for your loss. Joe was truly one of the finest men we have met and worked with. He made us feel at home during Lisle's 4th of July celebration with you and your family. His jokes will surely be missed along with his hospitality to make sure we enjoyed our time at the fest along with our families. The good Lord has truly blessed your family and friends with Joe.

Dear Lynn, Raymond and William: I am so very sorry to hear about your great loss. My words cannot convey the deep sympathy I feel and wish to express to you. Joe was by far the sweetest man I ever knew. I have always said this about him and that is to be in Joe's presence is to know you are loved. For he loved everyone with that great big heart of his. My own children asked me one time if Joe were the real Santa Claus. He was sweet, kind, generous, loving and full of life. This is how I will always remember him. I know that heaven gained a saint and are all enjoying Joe's sense of humor. How much laughter must be filling up the heavens. I pray that this brings you some peace during this grieving time. I know what heaven gained, you have lost and are now trying to make sense of it all. I am truly sorry for you and would do anything for you. Just ask. Thank you for sharing your wonderful husband and father with me and my family. We were honored to know him and our hearts will remember him always and carry his love and laughter with us through our days. God bless you and keep you and bring you comfort during this time. This I do pray for you.

My family sends their condolences to Lynn, Raymond & William. Joe will be truly missed, a man with a Heart of Gold, greatest laugh anybody could hear and a man of his word. Joe would do anything for anybody. Joe was so proud & lucky to have you as his best friend Lynn, something he always talked about with us. He always talked about you with the highest regards and saw you as the most beautiful woman in the world. Raymond & William, you should be very proud of your Father who leaves a legacy that will never be matched by anybody. Your father was so proud of you two men, he always bragged about you guys. We still remember the day when you guys were born, he could not believe the gifts GOD granted him and your Mother with. Continue with school, he always wanted you men to have an excellent education. Live with your heads up high and be proud of the man your Father was.
