I am so sad to hear about Joe. I have so many memories of him dating back to 1972 when we were in Most Happy Fellow together at the Muni. Joe was so kind and patient when helping me with choreography I found difficult and was always generous with encouragement. We lost touch over the years but I think of him often when I remember our show together. Trish and the rest of the family, please accept my heartfelt thought and prayers.

Joe was a man of unbounded talent who brought a sense of artistry and infectious love of his craft to every show. Long after his active career in local theater had concluded, I was glad to see him on Sunday mornings at Blessed Sacrament. He is remembered fondly by several generations of our theater community, and I just wanted to offer my deepest sympathy to his family and to all who mourn him.

My sympathies go out to all of Joe’s family. He was such a wonderful and welcoming fixture of the theater community when I first moved to the area. He is remembered so fondly!
