September 28, 2023 at 3:24 amOn behalf of myself and the Hackettstown post office, we were deeply saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. Joe was a great boss and was always fun to be around. Being a fellow musician he and I would share band stories and talk about music all the time. He will be missed by all of us that were fortunate enough to have known him.

September 30, 2023 at 1:34 pmA great friend and talented musician I had the privilege of knowing and working with since High School. We were in many bands together over the years and were musical brothers. He excelled at whatever he set out to do. Joe had an amazing sense of humor and the greatest laugh! An original and exceptional man, on behalf of those who worked with him, musically and professionally, please accept my condolences.

October 12, 2023 at 1:10 pmI am beyond saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. Joe was one of those rare individuals that leaves an everlasting impression on everyone they interact with. The mere mention of his name (even those that shared but a brief time with him many years ago) immediately invokes smiles and fond memories. Joe was a great friend with a big heart who loved living life with wild abandon, and I was lucky enough to have been in various bands and music projects with him over the years sharing countless experiences and laughs. You will be missed my dear friend and my deepest condolences go out to everyone.
