Joe and I were married over 25 years when we parted ways. He was a great father to Laura and Jason and devoted grandfather to Pearl and Isla. Joe had a curiosity of many things including whether aliens exist. He loved gadgets and was always making something to improve how things worked. He loved riding his motorcycle with the Nam Knights MC. He had an adventurous personality always trying new things. We kept in touch to keep abreast of what our kids were up to and he offered help whenever he could. I miss him and will cherish the memories.

Dear Pat, I want you to know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. So many funny memories of Joe especially when he got together with George. I am sure all the departed Nam Knights welcomed him home and are on a nice long ride figuring out where to eat. God Bless Pat and sending my condolences to you and all your family. Love Lynne Domenici

Sending my condolences to Pat, and to Joe and Pat’s families. I am very sad to hear of his passing and, like everyone, wanted Pat to have many more years with him. He was so kind and a pleasure to talk to during the many visits to Bridget and John’s home. I always admired him for his service in the Vietnam War, his career with the Port Authority, and his devotion to family. He will be greatly missed. ❤️

John and I want to extend our condolences to Pat and Joe’s family whom we know will miss him dearly. We knew Pat many years before she met Joe, her true love. We had the pleasure of visiting with them quite often and they introduced us to many restaurants where we shared many wonderful meals and laughs. One of our favorites became the Racoon Saloon. Joe and Pat also introduced us to Belvale Creamery in Warwick, NY where the view and sunsets were just as good as the ice cream, and then it became a favorite hour ride for John and I in our convertible. Joe had a great smile and warm personality. We were so thrilled when we attended their lovely wedding at West Point. We also had the opportunity to travel with them to Puerto Rico which was very enjoyable and memorable. We also got to spend many weekends in their beautiful retirement home in Millsboro. It was so relaxing sitting in the porch overlooking the beautiful lake and experiencing some beautiful sunsets. Pat and Joe were quite the hosts. They made us feel like we were at home. We spent many a fun night playing dominoes. Joe and John would talk about politics, and even though they were on opposite sides, Joe said he liked John anyway. We will miss Joe very much.

Joe was a great guy. A life member of the Nam Knights of America m/c. Joe served his country with honors. His service In Vietnam was one of those where he became our hero. We will miss him greatly.
