My name is Emily Throckmorton. I tried to call Joe today to say hello, realizing we had not done our regular “check in” every few months, usually a phone call that lasted many hours. Since I met him in 2008, we connected on many levels, and had similar experiences with regularly having to deal with feeling low. He was a loyal friend who always had my back, and I had his. I have unanswered questions about his passing. Loved ones, please call me at (805) 637-5480. I would sincerely appreciate your phone call, and also would love to share with you how dear he was to me. I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was a wonderful, caring, creative, talented guy, who could make me laugh even in the darkest of times.

Norm and family, We are so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. A good guy gone way too soon. Hold onto the happy memories together, they will get you through the tough times. Praying for you all.....Brian and Sarah White

Oh, Margaret, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You and all of his family will be in our prayers. Arthur and Ella May Roemer

Thoughts and prayers with Margaret and family. I am blessed that you’ve been in my life. Memories of Joe go back to the young baseball days, as the guy with the funny laugh, engaging personality, and golden arm. Apparently God needed a good right-handed starter.

Joe was my best friend. He was always there for me when I needed him. He was kind and loyal person and i will miss him terribly. I'm grateful for the time we got to hang out together in Santa Barbara.

My heart is with you Margarite and Norm. Joe was such a great friend to Nate and John and so many others. I send my love and condolences to you. A loss way too soon. Cathy Tucker Dill

I am beyond sad to hear of Joe’s passing. He was such a great friend for so many years. A gifted artist, athlete and such a kind soul. My deepest sympathy to Mrs Reeves, Norm, and Megan. Rest In Peace my fellow St Mary’s alter boy.
