Joe, very sad to hear the news. We went to HS together and when I got to JWU, we ran into each other. Hilarious moments at college and beyond. Couple guys from Cwood. Always great and kind guy. Rest easy my friend. Condolences to the family and pray you find comfort with one another in this difficult time.
Joe was super awesome to work with. He always found a way to put a smile on my face without even trying. We bonded over our love for Spiderman. I am finally starting the marvel movie series like Joe told me to. Rest easy Joe, you are forever in our hearts ❤️
Joe was a great person and a great friend to my brother. He was kind and compassionate. He was the friend my brother needed and loved at a time in his life when he was not often granted friendliness and compassion. Joe lived with us for a few years and instead many ways became like family. Many great memories whether Joe joining us for our family dinners or playing rounds and rounds of pool. A prayer for his family, friends, and loved ones. Joe was always a bright light here on earth and will be one of the brightest stars in the sky.
Still doesn't feel real. Joe was the only reason I would come in and work Sunday day shift. He was always 8 9 10.. I was 1 2 3. We would joke and laugh all day. He was the best friend to everyone! Sometimes when I drove him home is when serious Joe came out..I learned so much more about him on those rides.
One memory tho sticks out the most. It was a Sat night and Larissa..or as I would call her Dippy Do..you all remember.. the rainbow hair manager in training the whole time she worked there .Anyways.. the restaurant got a call about a party of about 20-25 people. And I think we we're still in dinner rush mode. So here comes rainbow bright..she's freaking out.. telling me to help push tables together in the back room.. the 70's and 80's area. So a few of us got all these tables together.. let the kitchen know to be prepared. I'm pretty sure they were to arrive at maybe 10pm..I was closing.. of course.. and I think it was Gregg taking it with me. So we couldn't have anymore tables cause we had to be prepared and on top of this party.
Well so we wait .. and wait.. and wait. The party never showed. Of course me and Gregg are pissed causes we could've had more tables. Dippy Do is just beside herself.. I think almost in tears.. she cried over everything. Reim would agree lol
So next day I come in .. not sure exactly who told me.. but it was Joe that called and said a large party was coming in! It was freaking hilarious.. not to Larissa.. she got extremely upset.. again.. and told Karen. Funniest tho was that Joe told on himself!! Like wat??!!! Lol Worst part about it was he got fired for it. But this is how much Joe was loved there.. we were all alittle lobster family.. Joe was back to work I think like 2-3 mths later.
Like we have all said then and now.. Joe was your best friend.. no choice.. he just was .
He's gonna be missed by so many people . He touched so many lives.. I honestly can say I don't think Joe had any enemies.. he wouldn't.. you couldn't not love that guy. I love you Joe.. I'll see you real soon

I remember this like it was yesterday! Me,Joe and Jose...the pink flamingos. We were always up to no good but man we worked so well together! I could get him to crack up at any moment lol that whole Red Lobster family I hold as 1 of my most cherished times and memories....this hits hard. Hope Joe knows that just because he's gone...still no chance I'm routing for those darn Giants!!
Peace and love my guy-Gregg
One of my favorite memories with Joey was during our college days at JWU. We were leaving a party, and true to who he was, Joey wouldn’t let me drive—he insisted on taking the wheel to make sure I got home safely. That was Joey in a nutshell: protective, caring, and always looking out for his people.
Well… in our late-night confidence, we pulled up to a parking garage and both just assumed the gate would open automatically. Spoiler alert—it didn’t. Joey drove right into it, and the look on both of our faces was somewhere between panic and pure disbelief. He felt so bad about my car, but I honestly couldn’t stop laughing. It was one of those moments that perfectly captured his heart—he was just trying to take care of me.
That’s what I’ll always remember most: his loyalty, his gentle soul, and the way he loved his people so deeply. Joey wasn’t just a friend—he was part of my chosen family. And I will always be thankful for the joy, the love, and even the parking garage mishaps we shared. I love you JWU Joey - when the day comes to reunite I’m going to give him the biggest hug and tell him thank you. Thank you for being the soul he is.
Joe was such a great person !!! This was the first
Day with the work tablet and we took so many silly pictures on it to “prank” our coworkers !! One specific memory I have is him always making fun on me for thinking super
Man was a part of marvel lol
Joe was always teasing someone, like building a wall so Shannon would have to move it to get out the door. Or teasing Mary because she left before we had cake. Joe also loved hard! He loved Ivette and also loved helping with the taste of Burlington County.
Joe we will miss you and your smile! You will always have a special place in our hearts. You were so much more than our Red Lobster family, you were part of my personal family. We will love you forever. Rest easy and watch over us until we meet again.
