From Joe's Mother:
My heart will never be the same. My beautiful boy gone way too soon. Such a tragic loss for his children family and so very many friends who loved him. Joey was my Joebear and his smile could light up a room. He will forever be an Angel I keep close in my heart and will forever cherish so many wonderful memories. I am at a loss to compose this no words can express what my heart feels right now. Joey loved his children and wanted the best for them. I feel so sad for them and will keep his memory alive for them always. Mom loves you Joebear. I know your grandmas & grandpa, were there and so many others to welcome you into everlasting life. I know you will rest in peace my love and you will never be forgotten.

From Joe's Father:
His love for his children, hockey, snowboarding, Golf, friends, and family. His passion for life was endless. He created a saying at a young age that stuck and was followed by most it was “ ya min yaway.”

There is no way to compare, measure, or question his ability to create a better moment than the one he was already in.
Whether it was on a hockey rink during a game or at a dinner table, "hey let’s all do this," or "oh my God we got this." He had the ability to light your soul on fire, and when it was done, he would say, like answering a prayer, “ya min yaway.”
As his father, I had the pleasure of seeing and holding him for the first time in this world, someone who looks like you, acts like you, and wants to conquer the world in his own way, which I swear, sometimes I thought would be a better world. And maybe someday I would see an 11th commandment that he followed.
We tried T-ball, too slow for Joe; we tried soccer, not fast enough; HOCKEY, he found the ability to challenge, chase, and have fun with friends, now he couldn’t get enough. And for most of us who know how much he loved it, we can’t describe all the moments he gave us on ice and wheels. For the people who can describe it, we will miss that player forever.
He loved snowboarding. I could only imagine no rules, as fast as you want, and create your own path. WELL ENOUGH SAID.
Most people can’t picture him in sharp dress clothes on a golf course, but I will tell you this: he had two sets of clubs, one for the circuit if he could, and one for when he played with average players. We played some, but not enough.
The biggest change in my son‘s life was when he had children. He was so in love with them. He would call me and say, “I can’t believe it.” I wondered if he would be able to slow down his life enough to just watch them grow. It is very sad that he won’t have that chance anymore. For his children to be able to see this and read what his friends and family wrote about him is wonderful. I hope my lovely grandchildren will get a better understanding of my son.
Friends and family, I hope you will grieve, love, cherish, help others who can’t, and know that Joseph, Joey, Joe, Dad, Pahli, #10, Bro, & Son.
We say goodbye, we say we love you, we hope that GOD will hold you in his arms and help you understand why he took you from us.
