Condolence From: Janie Armsworthy Previti
Condolence: Dear Joseph Family, Just heard this evening of Johnnys passing. So sad for I didn't even know that he was ill. Johnny was the greatest & I feel so privileged to have spent so many of my younger years with him. Besides my father there's no one that could make me laugh any harder. We had many good times with a wonderful group of friends from St. John's & Hollywood as you know. Johnny also had a big heart & was a very caring person. Although I haven't seen him in years he's the kind of person that lives on in your heart. You are such a wonderful family and I know this is so hard but I also know like me you will have many special memories of Johnny to help you go on. I will pray for you & please know I would have been at his service had I known. God Bless & love to all especially Johnny

Condolence: I am so saddened to hear about Johnny's passing. I hadn't seen him for many years, but remember him fondly. We were all in the same beach house. Johnny was always such a good fun person to spend time with--he had an easy smile and sharp wit and kind words for many.
May his memory always bring you strength.

Condolence: I am so sad that Johnny has made the trip we all will eventually make. I take a small degree of comfort remembering our visits and telephone calls over the last couple of years. One time I spoke with him was right after I was advised that another person was chosen for a position I was sure I had after 3 interviews. We talked for over two hours and by the time I hung up I’d forgotten about the job. We didn’t keep in touch regularly, but when we connected we picked up right where we left off. I loved his wit tinged with a bit of cynicism and more than a few grains of truth. We talked about everything, from the news of the day, Maria and his nieces and nephews, growing up on Half Pone Point Road, our families and growing old. I mourn his passing and will continue to miss him. I am grateful for the kindness he showed Maria (and the fatherly advice he gave her) when she rented a room in his Georgetown condo. I am glad that he was a part of my life for a very long time.

Condolence From: Paul Pinkman
Condolence: Though I had not seen Johnny for many years, we had spent a great many times together. I always remember him having a wicked sense of humor and a delightful presence. It's these things that stayed with me for the many years that we didn't see each other and that will remain for me whenever I think of him. I'm saddened to know that he is no longer here but happy to have been a friend to him for those years. I hope his family will slowly come to remember only the good things and happy memories he brought.
