Miss you Uncle Joe.
IM so sorry to hear of Joes Passing, i was shocked. I hope he didnt suffer. I spoke to Pete (Kwit), my ex-husband last week and he didnt mention anything about Joey being sick, I live in Arizona now so i am unable to make it to his funeral but i will send a donation to toys for tots in his name. My prayers are with his family at this time of sorrow. God watch over Georgia, Sam and Stacy in this difficult time in thier lives. Love, Aunt Julie
I am very happy that my family and I got to spend some time with you recently. And I very much enjoyed the stories that you told me about my Dad. I even got to make you breakfast! My kids are very sad and so am I. We are all going to miss you very much, please tell my Dad how much I miss him too!
Love and Miss you,

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Joe. He was a pleasant man and always had something positive to say when I would see him in the RRB halls or elevator. My condolences to the family of Joe. May God comfort and strengthen you and give you peace.
RIP Marine, say Hi to Army Fox,your little Marine Bro.Peace & Love.USMC4ever.
My heartfelt condolences to the family…Joe was such a nice guy, Although we worked at the same governement agency, I didn’t really get to know him until after he’d retired. We shared lots of great times at Chill’s. May you rest in Paradise.
I known Joe for many years, he was a good co-worker, he was fun to work with and was a very knowledgeable person. Joe will be missed. To the Kwit family : although its difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tommorrow.
Stacy, my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your father. I’m sorry I was unable to come to the wake to see you in person. My prayers are with you. Maria Lotesto ( Krista’s mom )
