Joe my heart is broken like so many others. I pray that you are at peace now. You have been a constant in my life for so very long. Life will never be the same again. God has called you home way too soon. We will see each other again one day…
Judie Gillihan says:
What a shock this is to me! You were my student in ceramics and always had lots of laughs. I have seen you now and then and always was a joy seeing you. You will be so missed by all that knew you. May you rest in peace and God be with you. It is so sad.
Lindell Brandner says:

Jody chianelli says:
Your are my best friend. My brother not by blood but by choice. You always said I was your angel but now you are mine. I still message you. I wait for an answer but I never see it. My heart breaks more every day. I hope you see my dad up there and have the most magnificent garden. I still donβt know what I am going to do without you here. I love you, someday we will see each other again. One day I may stop crying but for now I canβt

We were “Facebook Friends” I’m so sorry we never had the chance to meet in person…you and I would have been a real DISH! Take care of Wren for me xoxo.
Paula Levandowski says:
It’s so upsetting hearing the sad news. We sure had a lot of good times at Meijer, and I learned so much from you in the garden center. We shared many laughs and jokes out there. You were loved by many, including me. The world needs more kind hearted people like you Joe, but now Heaven has gained an angel. You will be missed by many, including the furry/feathered ones.

You will be missed my friend, I am so sorry, Joe…
Fra Juan Klees says:
So sad. I knew Joe from McDevitts in 1988-90. We pumped gas. He was a nice man, and good to me. I have photos of this time period, if anyone is interested. (juanklees at proton mail dot com.) So he was involved with DB? Huh. My step-ma’s g-grandfather, Hans Kauffman, helped build it 1910. I lived with that building most of my life Uptown. Since I was never very welcome, I think God has a sense of humor! I feel sorry for people, like Butch Bernhardt. Too bad he wasn’t here to see it. Jim Kreuser did not care either. Joe Andrea? They were the elites.
Wayne Peterson says:
Joe I never thought I would be writing this. Although our lives have gone in different directions, You have always held a piece of my heart. I know yow are now one the beautiful angels, that you so lovingly admired. Sleep softly my dear friend. I will miss you forever. Love Wayne
Maria Rosalez says:

Jane Broughton-Schaefer says:

I am in absolute shock of finding out of Joeβs passing. My family and I are sending our love, prayers and condolences to the entire Cerminara family. God bless Joeβs soul, heβs with mom and Heavens Angels. He will be truly be missed. I went searching for him at the garden center where he worked to find out of his passing.
