I had the pleasure to get to know Joe while working with him at the Church’s community life events. A kind, mild-mannered gentleman who had a beautiful smile. May he enjoy in his heavenly home the fruits of his earthly labor. Rest in Peace, Joe.

Knew Joe all our lives.
Got to know him well, working together one summer in high school.
For much of the summer, just the two of us pulling the rocks ( sometimes boulders) out of Crawford’s field.
Never had a job where I laughed more, every day.
Bright guy with a caustic wit ( not mean, but definitely salty).
Enjoyed his company.
Can still hear his laugh.
Hi Nicky,
Thank you for your love and friendship to Joe throughout his life.
I am sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. I remember him from high school and at St. Michael’s Church in Jermyn. Thoughts and Prayers, Chris Meholic
Thank you, Chris. It is sweet of you to remember Joe from St.Michael’s .
You gave me tasty cakes or a bag of candy every week. I gained a couple pounds the years I had you as my boss. Always encouraged me to pursue my dreams of having my own photography business. You wanted the name to be Magic Memories but it was already taken so we came up with JAZTAVIMAGES and I stuck with it. You were so proud when I showed you my very first business card. I’ll never forget it, you put it in your wallet like a proud dad haha. You will definitely we missed. Rest in Peace Joe aka JAMMY JAM.
Thank you so very much. What a comforting story.
So sorry to hear about Joe passing. Whenever I go past the house I think of him and Jim. My sympathies to you all
Thank you, Lucy.
Hi, I just found out about Joe. He was a life long friend, neighbor and basketball team mate.
He is missed indeed
