Prayers to Joe’s family. I worked with Joe when I was in high school & he was in college for the Roman Catholic Cemetery Association. We lost track of each other up until a couple of years ago when I saw him in church. He still called me “Tommy” and told him people don’t call me that much now that I’m older & he told me that I would always be “Tommy”. Made me feel good. Will never forget all those people you tried to fit in your VW Bug. LOL Gods speed
Joseph thanks for letting me drive your motorcycle & it was a pleasure trimming & mowing along side you all those years when we were much younger.

Sincere Sympathy all the friends of St.Mary Hospital
Our deepest sympathy to your family. So sorry for your loss.
Mary and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. What a great guy and a loss for all of us. As you know, Joe was a quiet, hard working, and dependable friend who touched the lives of many that came in contact with him. I was lucky enough to be a classmate and friend of Joe’s at CBHS. And, I really enjoyed catching up with Joe at recent Class Reunions. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time!
So sorry for your families loss. Joe will always be remembered fondly. Love and Prayers Gary and Beth(Mueller) Schultz y’alls SC. cousins.
I am so sorry to hear about Joe. Joe and I usually sat close to each other in Class at C.B. Joe always had a smile on his face, a friendly word.
Ginny, my darling, there are no words I can say to ease your pain and loss. Your Dad was an amazing son, brother, husband, and father, whom I had the privilege to meet. Hold on to all your memories near and dear to your heart, doll. May he rest in heavenly light. Love and hugs, Jane ♥️
Leo ad Family – I am sorry for your loss – I wish you peace
Our sincere condolences to Mary and Family.
Joe’s father, Smokey, told me many years ago in a conversation how proud he was of Joe. He sang praises of how hard Joe worked in pursuit of his goals. At CB Joe always brought his best, whether it was academics, athletics, or friendships. Who would have thought that such a nice and soft-spoken guy would become so fearsome and hardnosed when he put a helmet & football uniform on in high school. Heaven has one of the best.
With Our Sympathy,
Paul & Mary
So sorry for your loss, he was such a great guy. I met Joe when our boys ran cross country together at QND. Many wonderful memories and conversations as we maneuvered our way around several courses across the state cheering our sons on. Rest in peace!
Mary and family, my sincere condolences. Joe and I were classmates our entire primary and secondary years at St. Francis and CB. Most recently would run into him at our annual informal gathering of CB classmates, though I missed at last years as I was unable to attend. Enjoyed our visits at those and he shared with me his medical challenges over the last few years, but he was very positive and pragmatic about what he was up against. A great man and great loss to his family I’m sure. RIP Joe.
Our condolences to a wonderful family on the passing of a great guy.
