I doubt you remember us. Joey & Tony were best friends @ Christ the King. Joey was like a second son to us & am so sorry to hear about his passing.
Tony became an Army Major & died 7/17/2018. I believe that they are in heaven getting reacquainted & friends for eternity.

I will never forget Joe's kindness and friendship at a time that I really needed them. Joe was a true good Samaritan, and a good and faithful servant of Christ.
May his soul shine bright into eternity, and may his memory be a blessing and a comfort for all who loved him.
I'll see you again, old friend. Pray for us! X

My sympathy for your loss. Joe was my neighbor and has frequently showed kindness. My last conversation with him was his showing concern for my dealing with cancer. He offered support. He advised me on gardening and offered free assistance. A few minutes later he showed up at our house with a pasta salad he made to share with us. Also I know he was a man of faith. I would walk by his house on my way to Adoration or Mass at Christ the King. He would ask me to pray for him. One time gave me a couple dollars to light a candle for him.Joe has been and will continue to be in my prayers as I know he prayed for me.
