I am so sorry to hear this. I did not know Joe but I had the opportunity to spend time with Denise this Fall at a few soccer games and so enjoyed speaking with her and her adorable granddaughter Avery. My husband Andrew and I send our deep condolences to Joe’s entire family.

We are so sorry and sad to learn that our good neighbor, gentleman Joe has gone to his eternal rest. Our sincerest condolences to his wife Denise, and Joe's stepchildren, Sarah, Dan and Kevin and the Kelly family. We will miss you, Joe, your insight and humor, and yes, your bright headlights shining in our bedroom windows as you persevered going to work every day in the very early morning. Your bright lights meant, "all is good!" May Our Lord hold you in the palms of His Hands and close to His Heart!

Denise and Family,

So very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He certainly was a good guy. We all had some laughs together over the years.
Hugs, prayers and love to you all.

I was so sorry to read this sad new about Joe. I worked with Joe years ago. He always had a great sense of humor and a smile on his face. My sympathies go out to his family.

I met Joe this summer when I went to fish with his neighbors--Jim Klein and Helen Slone. I loved his sense of humor and of course, his love of the sea and fishing and so many friends. I think today in heaven, my dad could be teaching him to land a steelhead with a flyrod on a wicked river and he is teaching my dad about Wicked Tuna fishing. May God comfort you at this time.


I AM STANDING UPON THE SEASHORE by Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.


She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.

Dear family of Joseph,

We are very very sad to realize that Joe doesn t live anymore. We are thinking of your family and wish, that your all are once able to overcome this loss. We are thinking very often about the meeting at Nadine s and Kevin s wedding and are happy, we had the possibility to get to know Joe. Also his visit with Denise in NY stayed in my memories (Hana ) and I appreciated it very much they came because of me.
We send you all a big hug and many kisses.
Hana and Dusan from Frankfurt (parents of Nadine )

Denise and family,
Joe was a very kind soul. A wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather and friend.
Denise, I am so happy that you found your soulmate 22 years ago and so very sorry that Joe was passed away now. I am sure heaven holds a special spot for a devoted family man.

With deepest sympathy as we remember Joe. Wishing all, peace and comfort, durning this difficult time.

Joe was one of my childhood best friends. I grew up, and lived next to the Kelly family, till my early 20's. I still have very fond memerios of those times and many-many shared experiences, growing up together. Joe will be missed, by all, and will always be in our hearts and memories.

Dear Kelly Family,

I remember you all as a family of young boys as I baby sat Michael when he was quite young. I was one of your neighbors on Schan Drive

I’m so sorry to learn of Joe’s passing. You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about Joe's passing. Joe was my landlord for almost 20 years while I lived in Holland. Over that period, we developed a rapport that went beyond tenant-landlord status. Joe was always extremely generous and fair, and was one heck of a nice guy.

When I finally graduated to home ownership, the house we ended up purchasing in Yardley was built by Frank Kelly Builders.

Rest in Peace Joe.

My sincere condolences to everyone who knows and loves him.

Regards,
Brian McGurrin
