The McIntyre, Barrineau, and Seabrook families have all been so special to my family. Mr. Joe is one of the few people I have known my entire life. He defined the word neighbor each and every day by the way he lived his life. Our street will never be the same. It will be hard looking over to his house and not seeing him sitting on his porch.

Knowing Joe was such a privilege. We served in various capacities during my family's time at St. Thomas. He was always interested in our lives, shared and gave of himself and was a joy to all who knew him. We mourn his passing and extend our sympathy to all of his friends and loved ones.

Joe will be surely missed. He was in the Navy with my father. Many a great story I was told by Joe while sitting with him on a Sunday afternoon at the Rifle Club. His wonderful spirit and love of others was only exceeded by his willingness to volunteer to help anyone. I will truly miss my talks with Joe.

My Wife, Barbara, and I are sad to hear of Joe's passing. He was a true champion for the Knights of Columbus and his church and he showed it in acts of kindness every single day. He was a tremendous friend of the first responders in this community and will be sadly missed. I know he and his fellow knights are organizing the best knights of Columbus ever in heaven.
