Condolence From: Scott - Auburn Towne Cleaners
Condolence: Joe was a customer at our store right here in town, Auburn Towne Cleaners. But Joe was more than a customer. He would always stay for several minutes and talk with us about everything and anything. He would tell us about his family and spending time with his grand children. He also helped us in many ways through his advice or guidance and gave us a few items like a few signs for our store. He will be missed and he was an extremely nice gentleman.

Condolence: Janice, Little Joe and Babs and Allison
I was floored when Fran let me know. I just ran into Joe Sr. at what seemed like not a long time ago and he looked great.
He made a tremendous impact on me, I thought of him as more than a boss, as more than a friend, he was like family. There are not a lot of people like him walking this earth, and now we suffer for having one less.
His impact on everyone he came in contact with will never be forgotten.
Rest easy old friend, you earned a special place in my heart.

Condolence: Joe was always ready to share a joke, give his strong opinion on local and national political issues, and brag about his beloved grandchildren. He made us feel young when he referred to each of us as "Kid." He will certainly be missed. You have our deepest condolences.

Condolence From: The Don Helie Family
Condolence: What can anyone say when a family and friends have lost such a man? Somehow saying how sorry you are doesn't seem like enough. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, and all those that knew and loved Joe. I hope it will bring some comfort to the family knowing what a wonderful, kind, caring, loving, and so much more, man he was. To Jan,the children and grandchildren.................you certainly had a keeper! That's for sure!! Our thoughts and prayers will also be with you in the days ahead for all of you. We don't have to say "rest in peace Joe" because we know you will.
Even though we only saw each other once in a while we have always remembered the days when we did spend a lot of time together. Those have been and always will remain in a very special place in our hearts. Love to all!

Condolence: Joe we were two Survivors working hard to make a difference in a patient’s life. You were always there for me to keep me on track and keep our focus on our goal of helping others and letting them know that they would be OK. We worked hard and we did all this because we can is what you would always tell me! You have a huge heart of gold and you are the most positive person I know. I loved all the laughs and upbeat outlook you brought to our meetings. Sometimes I think we did more laughing than anything – You were insistent that we remember “blue hairs” in our work, make the print larger – be more specific. You took the time to ask me how I was doing and you always took the time to tell me about your family and the grandkids. Our Survivor handbook is almost done and through that work you will keep on giving that positive spirit to many people! Joe - Rest in Peace – You will be missed. My Condolences to all of the Hamel Family
