I logged into Facebook today to wish Joseph a happy birthday and saw the post about Wally, so, I googled Joseph's name and saw his obituary. I am terribly saddened by the passing of Joseph. He was one of the sweetest men I know. He was my hair stylist for years and even afterward I kept in touch with him when he left Lafayette and moved to DC. I hope you have found a home for Wally and I also hope you can celebrate the love you have for Joseph, as well as all the things he found worth fighting for. He was a kind, caring, and giving person!

Joseph was my first real friend in the Drama club. We were in two plays together and I will forever him in a very special way. He was the one person that helped me realize I was not alone and I wasn't a freak. I am sad that I was not ever to share how much he meant to me after not seeing him after he graduated. Joseph changed my life and a very special person. I will always have a special love for Joseph and he will forever have a special place in my heart. My condolences are with his family.

The world will be a much smaller place now that he started it.may your whole family find peace and comfort knowing that he positively impacted so many people Kevin Wally were just the most amazing friends anyone could have.
