So sorry to hear this. My prayers for the entire family…
What a remarkable man with an absolutely adoring wife and family. May God hold them in his tender care during this painful time and always.
As an excellent banker and a wonderful human being, I will always remember Joe with his bright smile and his solid understanding of human nature. I will miss the opportunity to see Joe and to have his welcome counsel.
Hari -My thoughts and prayers are with you, your girls and your wonderful family as you mourn the loss of your husband. I know that God will grace you with peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Joe you will be missed. Our prayers and condolences. Thank you for the times we shared; you will be missed.
Hari, Eleni and Sophia, our prayers are with you as you remember a wonderful husband and father.
Joe was a good friend I knew only a short time. But his advice to me really helped me in a difficult time. May God have mercy on him and his family. From God we come and to Him we return.
Joe was a bright star in our community. What a good man. We are all with you Hari. We will show up and look after and make dinners and carpool. And more. Always.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Horwath Family one and all. Joe was as smart as he was kind; he had more than most of each of these. I am better for having known him. May perpetual light shine upon him. God bless and keep you all.
