My deepest sympathy to the family and his friends during this heartbreaking sad time.    As Joe’s landlady on Orange Street I saw first hand his caring and loving commitment he had for people in need and anyone struggling through addiction.  Joe was always there to offer help for recovery. RIP Joe and May GOD BLESS YOU in HEAVEN.
Respectfully,

Can’t believe this news. I was online looking for evidence of a different obituary, and I stumbled across the news of the death of my friend Joey. We ran the streets and hung out at his house in the late 70s. We played with a group of friends that included Chris Lawrence and a guy named we called Buddy. I hadn’t seen him since high school, but I always remembered our times together. He was one of my best friends of my early years.
