Laurie, young Joe and family, I first met you and Joe while working at Zois' Pizza and was genuinely touched by the relationship I saw. Through the years, our sons (and us) have been social, and my Joey was great friends with your son Joe for years; Kel and Matt have spent time with Joe as well. Joseph, Patrick(Kelley), Matthew and I are truly saddened and shocked at your sudden loss. There are, of course, no words that can console you after losing such a loved family member and best friend. Only great memories of him and those special times with the two of you, can help you somewhat heal. Remember He is there to welcome Joe - who will now be watching over all of you. I just read about this so could not attend the memorial and want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Johnson/Maher Family
