You were one of the most humble and gentle person I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and everyone’s life you touched were graced with your gentle demeanor and sense of humor. I’m sure that Eddie was there to meet you to help guide you in this this next chapter and hope you singing your way through it.
Like many others I love and going to miss you my friend.

Dear Joe’s Family,
I was so saddened to hear about Joe”s passing when I arrived at Chelmsford Crossings on Thursday afternoon with my Pet Partner the dog Friday. We always went to visit Joe at the end as he was so loving towards Friday and I wanted to give him plenty of time to pat and talk to him. I also enjoyed visiting with Joe as he seemed to be a very interesting person. It was hard last Thursday to have to change our routine. Fortunately, we have a nice picture of Joe with Friday as a wonderful remembrance. Please accept our condolences.
Chris and Friday ( the dog)
