The soul of man is immortal and imperishable.
~ Plato
To ensure your generosity and support are acknowledged - and to help protect you from future solicitations - Joe’s family has requested that memorial contributions be made through IN MEMORY OF to the following
It was Joe’s dream to join the Air Force and serve his country one day. Helping those brave service members who inspired his dream would be a beautiful tribute to Joe’s compassion and his innate caring nature.
Joe was able to give the gift of life to others through organ donation facilitated by the NJ Sharing Network, an organization whose work is so vital to so many. Joe’s gift has already saved the lives of several people.

The Wounded Warrior Project aims to help injured service members aid and assist each other by providing unique, direct programs to meet their individual needs. Programs include: Combat Stress Recovery which addresses the mental health and cognitive needs of warriors returning from war; the Independence Program, designed for warriors who rely on their family or caregivers as a result of moderate-to-severe brain injury, spinal-cord injury, or other neurological conditions; Family Support; Transition Training; and the Warrior Care Network, connecting veterans to academic medical centers that can address undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues suffered from the travesty of war
