We lived in the Cul-de-sac near Carol and Joe. They were great neighbors. We were there when Hillary was born. Joe would give you the shirt off his back, and he helped me so many times with things that were out of my wheelhouse. I never saw Carol without a smile on her face, even during her struggles a short time ago. They will always remain in our memories. May they rest in peace until we meet again.

Only got to “work” with you a few times when my dad would bring me to work on take your kid to work day. May have been few but they were great. My dad always spoke very highly of you Joe, and it was easy to see why. Love and prayers to the family. Rest easy Joe and Carol. ❤️🙏
