A man of integrity and character. The guy you reach out to when you need help with anything. Creative, innovative and outgoing. A modest overachiever. Joe was a person who didn't take short cuts, didn't step on toes and encouraged everyone to be the best person they could be - for the sake of goodness. A son and a brother, a husband and father of two - Joe focused on his family and his extended network of friends. His inherited lifetime trade and talent was old world plastering from Italy. Along with his brother Vince, Joe was a Master Plasterer. His passions included the sites and sounds of music, nature and outdoors, the hunt and big water fishing.

Notes and messages

Joe, my brother. You are always near in thought and near at heart. I miss you more than words and I pray that you are still watching over me. God's love will keep me, until we meet again.
