We’re so sad to hear about Joes passing. He was our next door neighbor in St.Louis for the few years we lived on Lisette. Fond memories of our Syberg (Joe mama pizza) dinners & beer chats in the backyard. He was the best neighbor! Condolences to his family.
As the neighbor next to you, he talked about you both fondly. He loved the outing with you both to the fish fry. He always said you two were the best neighbors ever.
HE IS MY BIG BROTHER. SO BLESSED TO HAVE HIM. HE HAS AN IRISH WITT LIKE NO OTHER. KNOW HE IS STILL WITH ME BUT MISS SO MUCH HIS VOICE SAYING, “HI KATE”!
Joe will be missed .Enjoyed his humor .Catherine
