Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Joe was Bill’s cub scouts leader, co-worker, boss, friend and one of the most inspiring male figures in his life besides his father. Joe was also someone I looked up to, he was my boss and a friend from Publix. Joe was one of the happiest guys we knew, he always had a smile on his face no matter what kind of day he was having. We will miss him dearly!

Thoughts go out to the entire O’Clare family and my prayers are with you during this difficult time. Working with and alongside Joe for over 20 years in the Miami and Deerfield Beach facilities Joe was always there for me whether to give advice or offer support. His cool headed personality and composure was admired. Joe was always at our old guys get togethers, the last on October 17 and everyone enjoyed his presence and conversations. He will be missed, God Bless.
