  1. To all of Joe’s family and friends.

    It is with great sadness I hear of the passing of Joseph who is far too young to have this happen. Joe was a gentleman’s gentleman and carried himself with great professionalism and charisma. HIs focus on his family and his love of photography are just some of the things that made him great.

    To his wife and children, the sadness is immense now and the sympathy which is flooding to you does not offset the desire to have Joe back with you. You never get over the loss of someone like Joe, the best you can do is just continue forward with him in your heart. He will live on through you and your actions.

    Wishing only the very best of everything for you going forward.

  5. Oh Joe, ! Where have you gone ? Right to the end your texts gave no hint of your condition. What a nice way to remember you. You continued to talk on photography as if you would be practicing it for the far future. Ill miss your funny sarcasm and regular-guy-ness
