As a long time family friend of the Fitzpatrick's I would like to send my condolences. Joe will be sorely missed. I know it's difficult for the family during this holiday season. I recounted at his funeral how when we were kids Joe punched me in the nose. I'm sure I had it coming but Joe and I become good friends after that. I will always remember Joe for the fine craftsman and good friend he always was to me.

Joe was a sweet, very funny guy. In a way, he and Val helped me raise my daughter, Brandy, by letting me drop her off every morning so she and Mandy could go to school together. I will always be grateful for his kindness.
On the Day I Die, from The Soul of Rumi: On the day I die, when I'm being carried toward the grave, don't weep. Don't say He's gone! He's gone. Death has nothing to do with going away. The sun sets and the moon sets, but they're not gone. Death is a coming together. The tomb looks like a prison, but it's really release into union. The human seed goes down in the ground like a bucket into the well where Joseph is. It grows and comes up full of some unimagined beauty. Your mouth closes here and immediately opens with a shout of joy there.
May God comfort you in your time of sorrow. Joe's gentle spirit lives on in our memories and our hearts.##imported-begin##Debra Overby##imported-end##
I fondly remember Joe when he came to my Sunday School class with brother Tom back in the mid-1970s. The quality I remember the best about this good looking thoughtful guy was his great sense of humor. I know he was blessed by growing up in a most loving family. My heart is with you all -- Leslie, Don, Vickie, Gordon, Sara, Tom, Nina and any other family member I may have left out. Lovingly, Val Kramer.##imported-begin##Val Kramer##imported-end##

Joe worked with me for over 10 years in the boating industry. He was well received by all, as he was a great guy. He was my boss and I was his boss too! He pulled alot of pranks and had a good sense of humor! We will all miss him. God bless your family. Jon and Cheri##imported-begin##Jon and Cheri Musgrove##imported-end##
