Beloved nephew there are no words that I can say that reflect how much you mean to me. No more words we can share only in my dreams.truely to me you are a ray of light that will be my guide now. Always and forever my little blond headed blue eyed sprite .one day again we will play guess who played that song. (Ich liebe dich) always Aunt Susie 

Man I dont know what to say I'm at a loss through all the memories an all the conversations but I do know I'm just heartbroken been trying to stay ok about like you it helps with music but almost everything I listen to today is something you showed me in the past are when I was little  I love you joe I will miss you with all my heart an you will alway be in my heart an on my mind rest easy big brother 

I met joe years ago and then my daughter Ashley dated his son shayne. He will be missed by many but he will always be with you in your heart. 

My thoughts & prayers are with family & friends. Joe, thank you for your service to our Country. Thank you for one of the best gifts I've ever received our son! He is a spitting image of you  & I know he will continue to make you proud! 

I’m at a loss of words to describe the sorrow I feel knowing that there will be such much of our lives that we won’t get to share with you. My only wish was to at least of been able to give you one last hug and to tell you how much I loved and appreciate the life you had given me. Lots of laughs, lots of crying, lots of fights and lots of love. I wouldn’t trade any of those moments or of had them any other way because they’ve made me who I am today. You’re gone too soon dad, but maybe it’s for the best. I’m choosing to find comfort in knowing that you aren’t struggling/hurting anymore and I’m thankful for that. I’ll just miss you. Whether I told you enough or not, you were my hero and in many ways I idolized you. I know you’ve left an imprint in this world and you meant so much to so many people. Our whole purpose in life is to leave this earth better than we found it and I believe you’ve certainly done that. I love you dad and I’m ready for the day that I can finally see you again. Rest easy.

I'm going to miss you Joe you were like a brother to me and a lot of my first in life's involved you we love you and miss you with all our hearts my dearest friend

I have too many memories too choose just one. But the last day we had together was the most precious and important day of my life. It meant so much to me for all the things you shared. And to know you felt the same as me. I loved growing up with you. You were a great brother Joe. You were a great friend. You will always be my Hero. I needed more time with you.But I guess you could not stay. I know I will see you again.I hope you know how much I love you. That I will always love you. You will live forever in my heart. In the hearts of so many people. You will never be forgotten. My only consolation is knowing that you can rest again. You are not hurting anymore. I wish I could have taken the pain away. Jesus will do what i could not. Sleep in Peace Brother. I will see again.

All I know is that my nephew even from childhood was such a great person!! Hey made us laugh and cry!!!He brought such happiness and joy in our lives!!! Sometimes some sadness!!! He was a normal young boy that grew to be a loyal American soldier, a wonderful husband, father, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend  to all of us !!!! I couldn't be more proud of anyone as I am of you Joe !!! I love you and will see you again!!! Your in God's hands now!!!

I served with him in 2004 in Iraq. We had some fun times in the tight quarters we had in the Gomer pile tents. Rock floors and 30 guys or more on the tent. He was a great guy who told me I was going to get a tattoo when I get home but I never did. But some great laughs and a great guy who left us too early. Love you joe 

Joe had often told me that he saw me as his crazy and mean big cousin. He said i was scary. I asked him why he thought I was scary? He said because you would beat the crap out of anyone who messed with us. I was instantly overwhelmed with emotions because i realized he saw me as a protector. He grew up to be a strong and fearless protector of us all. He had a big heart and loved his family. He was so funny and loved to laugh. 
The last time we spoke we both said I love you before we hung up, for that, I am grateful. 
I love you Joe 💙 until we meet again. 

I met Joe in the worst imaginable place but so glad I was able to know him. He will surely be missed.

  Words can't express the sorrow all that knew Joe feel at this moment.  Joe was a great person to have spent many hours working with. Always fun times and tons of laughs... there were tears as well, but most of those were from laughing... 
Joe was a great co-worker and friend. He was also a man who was very proud of his children and their accomplishments. Although there may have been rough at times, Joe always had love for his family, spouse and true friends.  You will be missed, but we will see each other again in HEAVEN. 

We had some awesome times at work brother.  I told you the “dangler” story and I had you and the others in stitches laughing hysterically.   You always had a big heart and I remember our phone calls just talking. Rest easy in Valhalla my brother. You are loved and missed

I will never forget the great times we had. We had a special bond like brothers. We all think were invincible. I miss you brother. Give Dunk a hug for me. No more worries and stress, be in peace and love. Till we meet again, Love you.

Through his rough exterior, those who knew him could say that he had a big heart.  Throughout many hardships, we were always there for one another. If only one thing could be made known, it should be that Joe was a Christian and knew Jesus as his Savior.  With that, we should all rest easy knowing that he is now reunited with friends and family in heaven.  One day I hope to see him again, because he was both- my friend and my family.  Love ya Chuck
