Sonia, I am truly saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. He was an exceptional man who was always good in heart and sweet in spirit. We played tennis nearly 20 years ago and have been close ever since. I will surely miss him and the great conversations we had. If you ever need anything at all please let me know. He was one of the very best, Truly !! Love, Jim Seaman

Sonia, I’m so sorry for the loss of your Joe. Such a friendly neighbor who always stopped to say hello and many times with an interesting story to tell about his days as an Assistant Principal or just to chat about something happening in the community. He seemed to really enjoy life and people. I’ll miss chatting with him at our different events - parties and Phillies games and when it snows. Joe and I both liked to shovel the snow and we’d be out there together when no one else would be out, both of us enjoying the quiet snowfall and clearing our driveways together in mutual silence. And not that we ever had to take advantage, but I so appreciated his constant offer to help if we ever needed anything. He was a good man and a good neighbor. I’ll miss him.
