I was saddened to learn of Joe’s death. He and Fran have been friends or patients of mine for half my life–40 years. Joe is a tough Marine who has a heart of gold. We will all miss him.
I was unable to attend the funeral service, but I did watch on video and learned more about him—it seems so often the case, that we are recognized posthumously for our virtues. His prayer/poem was very moving.
My very sincere condolence to Fran and her family at this critical time. May the Lord bless you and keep you!

We honor Joe for his service to our country and communities, granting his children and grandchildren, and generations to come for the freedoms we have today.

I met Fran and Joe when I worked with Fran at LGH From 1988 to 1993. Fran was a devoted wife to Joe, and he was always ready to help Fran in whatever she wanted to do. They were a caring, loving couple. Joe will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. R’I’P. Joe. With sympathy and fond memories, Joan Cutaiar

I remember when Fran and Joe got married at St. Anthony’s. I was 11 years old and didn’t understand a lick of Latin, as the entire service was in Latin. What a long ceremony…I remember. I loved Joe. I remember his parents had a big shindig at their house in Columbia, by the river. Alot of food, drink and people. Lots of fond memories. RIP Joe and our condolences to Fran and his children.
