I so enjoyed spending time with Joe at Lakeside. He is missed.

Joe was at first a schoolmate and fellow sailor at SUNY Maritime with me. Years later we became professional colleagues. That grew into a wonderful working relationship. I was introduced to his loving wife and family as we started to work to together more closely. Joe then became a very giving mentor for me at a time when I needed it. He was a true friend. He was very knowledgeable and generously shared his wisdom and time with me. His love for his family was easy to see. I will miss Joe. The knowledge he gave me and memories we shared will never be forgotten. FWE Joe.

Joe and I grew up in same neighborhood and attended Resurrection Grammar School in Rye. I remember him as being serious and jovial at the same time. I was sad to read of his passing but glad he had such a rich and interesting life. I send my sincere condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe and becoming one of his caregivers about 2 years ago. He was the sweetest man. It was my pleasure to have known such a man. His wife Marianne was second to none. The love and devotion she showed for him was unlike anything I've ever seen. My heart and my prayers go out to the Cotter family. A great man has been lost and will truly be missed.

So many good people gone.We were classmates at Stepinac.I know he is in a better world now,\God bless you and all your family.Rest in peace my friend.You will be missed but never forgotten.

Debbie and I are saddened by your loss. Joe was a good guy. A real gentleman.

It is sad news to hear of the passing of our friend and my long-time colleague. A man of exceptional integrity, intelligence, knowledge and loyalty; it was a blessing to know and to work with Joe. Our sincere condolences to Marianne and the children. He has left a legacy of family and dear friends to honor his memory.

A classmate, a colleague and a loyal friend. Joe will be missed.

I remember the day I met Mr Joe and his beautiful wife Marianne walk into the room. His is beautiful family.... If I remember correctly there was a black and white cookie from Nana Theresas involved at some point that day!! He always lit up when he saw his beautiful wife. He alaways had a bit of a grin on him and hug that would make anyone feel special!! He will be missed on this earth and may God surround you all with love and peace. It was and Honor to know him and his beautiful family!!

I met Joe in the early 80's at Maersk Line Limited. We both grew up in Rye, New York and knew alot of the same people. Joe was a good man. A hard worker, smart, dedicated and loyal to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Marianne, Thomas, Katherine, Megan, and Erin.

Although I didn’t get to know Joe well, I know what a special man he always must have been. He had the devotion and love of his wife and best friend, Marianne. His legacy are his beautiful children and grandchildren and the many friends that he made and kept. God bless you and keep you, Joe.

Joe and I had a very special bond and worked many a problem together over the years. Many funny stories and he was always there to help. I appreciate the support when my wife was in her last days, Joe was there. May you rest in eternal peace.

May this "Gentle & Kind Hearted Giant" find his repose in the Lord's care. He was a wonderful human being that we at MTL had the privledge to call associate & above all friend. God Rest His Soul, May His Memory Be Eternal. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. My condolences to his wonderful family.

We were fortunate to share some fun years at MTL with Joe .

When my husband Bill died, Joe was there, he made my grief easier to handle. Burial at sea, flags at half staff, and the hysterical event at customs. Love to all

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I have many memories of the years we worked together. His practical jokes, subtle sarcasm, and hard work made him a great team player. He always spoke up when he needed to make a point and there was nothing phony about him. My sincere condolences to Joe's Wife and family. I pray you find comfort in your memories and reflect on the love you all shared. God bless!

My deepest condolences on Joe’s passing. He wa a great friend and one hell of a sailor.Rest In Peace Joe.

From our common high school days through our common chosen industry, whenever Joe and I came into each other’s circles, he allowed us to pick up where we last left off. A lovely and positive gentleman and friend. ThNk you and God Bless you Joe.
