My cousin Joe was larger than life. I remember his trips to Houston when we would celebrate being all together, with Joe right in the center. I can see him now, happy and healthy, smiling down on us. My heart is with all of the family. Love to you all.

I am so sad to hear about Joe and am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Although I only met my cousin Joe a few times (being a California Bryan), I know my dad (Uncle Harry) thought the world of him ! Dad used to always say "That Joe, oh he's a really nice fella". Hi praise from my pop, who was a man of few words. I know he will be truely missed by all who knew him and is smiling down us all and in the company of the Bryan clan in heaven.

Harry (Grandpa) and I were greeted by Joe when we arrived in PA for the beginning of our vacation. I've heard nothing but great things about Joe and was very excited to finally meet him. It was a long trip back to our hotel in Clairton, a long trip for that time of night, I was smiling the entire way as he and Grandpa laughed and played catch up. When we finally arrived at the hotel and made sure Grandpa was situated Joe and I went to have a beer or 2, or 3. Everything I heard about Joe was true, I'm so fortunate to have spent some time with him. It wasn't much but we covered just about everything in about an hour of one on one time. Rest in Paradise Joe. Miss you.
