NEVER A BETTER
FRIEND OR MAN
LOVED YOU BROTHER
THANK YOU FOR
ENRICHING MY LIFE
His sister Bonnie was one of my dearest friends growing up. I remember Joe and his family very fondly. Spent many days with them in their home watching the Cardinals play on TV and playing poker. I am sorry for your loss Jim and Steve.
Joe, I love you and will miss you my “Older Brother”. I will miss our morning talks on the phone and will miss you beating me in bowling on a weekly basis. I thank God that I had you as my brother for all of these memorable years that we had together. Tell Mom and Dad and Susie and Bonnie I love them and miss them too. As we always kidded, I am signing off as your “Younger Brother”.
What a great guy great friend and yeah a lot of great times had. All of us that have met you will never forget you. Whenever I hear thunder I’ll think of you bowling strikes in heaven. May God bless you and your family.
I played in a few bands at House of Rock over the years. Joe was a pro, but a decent human being in all situations. He made that place.
RIP Joe, and God bless.
