Dear Mary Margaret, Phil, and Rosalie - We are sorry that we were out of town and unable to offer our condolences in person to you. This morning, his name was mentioned in the Prayers of the Faithful at Holy Cross. We are sure that the services were special to you as we used to see your Dad at the 4pm Mass and it showed that he was a person of deep faith. He always had a smile when we talked and would tell us some funny stories - and made us laugh. Now, he is with your mother watching over you, your spouses and their grandchildren. We will keep you in our prayers.

Joe was my neighbor in DeWitt for many years and what a helpful, kind and thoughtful person he always was. He will be missed. My family extends their sincerest sympathy to his family at his passing.

Dear Arlene, Jeanette, and members of the Luckette family,
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I learned of Joe’s passing;
And I share in your sorrow and joy in the belief that the good he spread has earned him his heavenly reward.
Joe and I go back many years. Growing up we shared the same birthdate, neighborhood, schooling and friends. He was one of my earliest and very best friends. We wore out our sneakers playing baseball and touch football on the old Townsend School playground, we walked to school together just about everyday since we met at Franklin School kindergarten class; a friendship that lasted for more than 77 years, celebrated annually with a birthday reminder phone call .
Everybody liked Joe, he was a good sharp kid, honest, loyal, respectful and fun to be with; all characteristics he carried into his adult life; expanded to include others, like, enterprising, loyal employee, good husband and father.
He met his dream girl and she knocked his socks off. His friends would rib him about this girl nicknamed Tootsie. They married and as others in our group followed, times began to change for all of us.
Although we ventured away from the old neighborhood, those fond memories of the best of times were rekindled at every school reunion, Friday morning breakfasts, calls for kitchen planning advice and chance meetings.
Joe’s passing reminds us all, that the Golden Years don’t always shine brightly and they pass more quickly than we hoped they would. Joe was gifted with a good lifetime, and he did much good. We wished his,last few might have been brighter, healthier and extended.
Joe, for all the good times, thanks for your friendship.
May God bless you and may you rest in His Peace.

Every time I visited my father at Loretto, I visited Joe too. What a sweet man. He loved to sit with my father, mother, and me and enjoyed sharing the treats I would bring. Each day I did my best to make him smile, and he often gave me this huge grin. As complete strangers, he was drawn to us and we were drawn to him. I found out later that he went to high school with my uncle. Such a small world. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. I hope he and "Tootsie" are together again. 💕💕💕 Linda Dwyer
