Very sad news. Joe Fay was part of my new family my son married into. He was funny and kind and I had to make blueberry pie every holiday and he would eat most of it every time. I will miss making them and I will miss him.
Rest in peace Joe!
Jen, My Deepest Sympathy to you and your Family, prayers for strength and peace
Farewell my brother I shall think of you often with love respect and humor. I can never repay all that you did for me and so many
Others but I will try to be as good as you were. Love Jim.

Heartbroken at Joe’s passing, he was a dear friend at the Hilton gym. Joe always spoke so dearly about his family…his wife, children and I especially loved his remembrances of his parents and the music he grew up with. We are lesser for his loss, yet greater for his fellowship.
Joe, You were a special man. You helped me in more ways than you will ever know. You may be gone but not to me. Rest in peace my friend.
Joe,
I will never forget your humor and your jokes… You will be deeply missed, I want too celebrate your life and remember you being genuinely kind to everyone you came in contact with! May your spirit and soul live forever in the hearts of family and friends… Joe Tbeau
