Condolence: My Dear Carol, Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. Our heart goes out to you. Although we have not met Joseph personally, we are sure he was a wonderful person, and we know how much you will miss him. My family has prayed for Joe during the past few weeks. We will continue to pray for him and for you. God Bless you my dear friend.

Condolence: My sincerest condolences to the Sumner family. Joe was a dear friend from junior and high school…he was such a wonderful guy with an endearing smile and sense of humor. I am heartened to know he had a full life with family and friends who loved him so much. He has left us all too soon, but our lives are richer from having known this special man.

Condolence: My dear Carol, Though we have not met, I am so very, very sad and sorry for your terrible grief and sorrow, especially at this time of year. Joey and I had grown to be better friends over the past few years through shared values and emails, photos of the pets (especially sweet Max), jokes. I kept hoping hard he would be able to fight this physical battle, too, and win through all of our many prayers out there. I know that he was in awful pain; I hope truly that he was able to pass in relative peace and comfort. I feel for you all and wish I could take your pain and misery away. Ernie and I will miss him very much also. Please take care of yourself. With Love and Condolences, Barbara and Ernie, previously of Freeport

Condolence: Carol, Words cannot express how saddened we are at Joes passing. He was a very special man and will be missed.

Condolence: Carol, We are so sorry for your loss. Joe was way too young to have his life end so soon. You have been in our thoughts and prayers a lot the past few weeks, and especially the past few days. We are here for anything you need. It’s time like this we especially wish we lived a lot closer to each other, but know we are always standing with you in support. We love you. Gary and Mindy.

Condolence: We love you Aunt Carol and will be with you in spirit. We loved Uncle Joe and will miss him dearly. You are loved beyond words! Love, Steven, Tara, Alyssa, Justin, and Analisse

Condolence: my deepest sympathy go to you for your loss. I hope he didn’t have to suffer, nor you have to endure the suffering. I’m on my way upstate with my grandsons or I would have been there for you. I’ll call you during the week to offer my sincerest condolences. Regards, Hank

Condolence: Dear Carol & family, I am so sorry for your loss. Joey and I went from Holy Redeemer School together, on to Freeport High School. We became much closer when we worked together during High School at The Grove Theatre. I always had so much fun there with Joey. He had such a great sense of humor. I can hardly put into words how happy I am that Joey decided to come to the Freeport High School reunion pust this past May ’14. Little did we know that this was our time to say good-bye to Joey. I remember laughing with him over our Grove Theatre memories. I am so lucky I saw him. I am so sorry for your your pain and loss. Warmest wishes, Grace Byrne Greene, Key Largo, FL,., and a former Freeporter.
