My condolence to Joe’s Family.

So old friend those stories we shared at the renuion are that much more important now, you will always be remembered as one of the good ones Joe. CHIMO TP

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you of Joe’s family. I first met Joe on the West Coast in 2000 when he was the Sea Trainer Chief Fire Fighter and I was a mere Corporal Fire Fighter on a ship for the very first time. Thanks for putting me through my paces so I could go on to make an excellent career out of being a fellow Fire Fighter. RIP Joe from your Portuguese General LOL !

Rest in peace Joe. Good memories from Greenwood. Prayers to all your family and many friends.

I did not know Joe as much as I know the rest of the Kmyta Family as Joe was the brother that was doing good deeds for his country. Always heard good thing about him and had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time at Tina and Steve home when they lived in Federal. Classy guy I thought as he was always dressed in his uniform. The clothing must have been very comfortable as he seemed to enjoy showing off his medals and ribbons of accomplishment. My best memory is Joe walking into my Uncle Gerald’s funeral in full dress to pay his condolences to our family. That was the icing on the cake. Joe, you will be missed by so many people but your spirit will live on. God bless to your family during this time of sorrow. Shawn, Joanne, Tyler and Kristy

Dear Uncle Joey, my heart is filled with huge sadness that I could not come to see you to say goodbye. I will always remember you for your humor and easy going nature but mostly for how good you were to my beloved aunt. Auntie Olga has always been there for me since I was a little girl. My heart breaks for her and your family. I can never measure up to the amazing caregiving and love that my aunt has given selflessly to her family over the years but I promise to be there for her. I will miss you. Lots of love, your niece Pam xo
