Joe was a funny guy most of the time except for his famous Scott called ,Scott tissue joke.Joe loved to wholesale and cook.He was bummed out about being stuck at home and couln't wait to drive again.About 2 weeks ago a big buck had sat in his backyard most of the day, he just sat there watching it.Everyday I think of Joe,I was really the only one he saw on a regular basis.Joe could be stubborn when it cames to Drs(like most guys)I will miss him dearly.Nancy and I would kid each other that Joe was each others husband.Joe also was entertaining showing my grandkids how to throw peanuts up and catch them in their mouth.Joe and I could have a competion of the jokes any day of the week.Hes in heaven now telling jokes .(Hopefully he doesn't piss anyone off and get kicked out)I'll miss ya Joe.Cathy

I met Joe in 1964 when my family moved from Michigan to Ohio. My father and his were good friends. One year later we moved to Orange County California. The early 70's the Jarosz's moved to CA. and Joe and I hooked back up. We had a lot of good times I will cherish, and I will miss him dear'ly. Joe was a great guy who would allways cheer you up. Joe, you are in a better place and I hope to see you one day again. Rest In Peace
Love, Chris Mamola

My dearest brother Joe, we will all miss you so... You made us all laugh; it will be so sad that "Uncle Joe" won't be with us any more. I know that you had been suffering for so long. Your pain has now passed and once again you are reunited with mom and dad in a far better world. J.P. go hit that hole in one in heaven!
Love,
Lynn
