To Debbie and the whole family, so very sorry for your loss. And what a loss it is . Joe was a gifted person and I remember with fondness and gratitude the many years we worked together at MassMutual. Many people, including me of course, relied on Joe's technical expertise and friendship to get through the demanding days at work. Thank you, Joe.

Dear Deb, Alyssa, Matt, Andrew, Charlotte and James(and extended La Belle family) We are so incredibly sorry for the loss of Joe. We'll miss all the good times and especially these family get-togethers! Joe used to blow our minds with his amazing cooking! On this night we were treated to Clams! Lobster! and, so much more! It was always a good time and we always felt so special and welcome at Deb and Joe's house. We love you all and are so thankful that we are family. We will always miss having Joe's humor and wonderful conversations.

Things Supernatural, but that's from his mother. Besides that, my fondness of books I can relate back to Joe.

Play list is a little something I picked up growing up and still doing. Doesn't think Joe knew. Don't think he'd mind, he'd likely like the music at least.

Also make sure his sisters tell you about the Mayflower/Plymouth witches from his mother's side (Hopkins if I remember correctly) , not that I have that right, it was never expounded upon but there was some claim there from Lorraine as I remember.

Surprised how much Joe ended up looking like his dad.
Parted ways with Joe when he started attending Catholic School in Junior High. He was always a grade above me. Other than that, saw him a lot as I was his neighbor. When ever his sisters would let him go, he was at my house or I at his or we'd be at the library across the street or running around Sixteen Acres, but mostly on our block. We were both book hounds but Joe read much more. Good times why they lasted. Sorry for your loss. Joe will be remembered well.
