My family would like to express our sorrow for the lose of your father and a brother. I will long remember Joe as the sheriff of Kearny co. and a wonderful family man. He was a good friend of my father. They had a lot in common. Especially when it came to playing the guitar. I am sure that he will be missed by all. God bless you at this time.

remembering Joe

I have many wonderful memories of Joe and your family. He was very supportive of my ex-husband in the Sheriff Department. I was always able to contact Joe when I needed community service hours for my probation kids. He loves to sing and perform music. I am deeply sorry for your loss, he was a great man.
