I had the good fortune to hang out with Joe on a few occasions, most notably the annual trips to the Army/Navy game in Philadelphia. He was a genuinely good guy, quick with a joke or a funny story, and he always made the day more fun; he will be missed. My condolences go out to his family & friends -- may you find peace in this difficult time.

Although I did not see Joe very often, My outstanding memories of him were when we played golf at the Bellport Golf Couse with his brother Jim and my brother Matt. Also the time He, my Niece Anne and I climbed a steep winding hill at a park in Acworth, GA. My condolances and sympathy go out to
James and John,and all his relatives.

Joe was a great guy. He was one of my brother's best friends and he often was at family gatherings. Joe was like a part of the family. He was great with the kids and they also will miss him dearly.

So sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I recently saw him at another unhappy event (a friend's father's funeral) and it was like "reunion" time all over again. My condolences to his family, especially Jim whom I sang in the St. Joseph's folk group with. Joe will be missed.

Lil Buddha was always ready with a quick joke or a funny story..from the days @ St. Joes to boy scouts and then thru high school Joe was always a pleasure to run into and get caught up with what had happened since the last time we saw each other.Taken too early and left so many friends behind my condolences to Jimmy and the entire Borowski family in this trying time

Jimmy and family,
So sorry to hear the news about Baby Buddha. Joe always had a smile and a kind word for everyone.
He made me laugh many times. I remember the time he lost a fishing lure at Crosset Lake. Better not tell that story here....
Joe,you leave us all with many fond memories, you will be missed

"Joe B"...How can that name being shouted across a room at an incoming guest change everything? It was Joe. The kisses and hugs, the jokes and the stories. Joe LOVED, and was LOVED. John, Janie, Jim and Andrea, he loved, but his devotion to his nephews and nieces blew me away. There was never a visit from Uncle Joe (what my niece and nephew called him) that did not include a picture or story of what they were doing Their first steps, engagements, marriages, and children. Pride oozed from him about their accomplishments, personal and military. We will miss him dearly.

Joe was amazing. He often said he looked up to me, but he didn't know that in reality, I looked up to him. The word friend was a guy named Joe B

Boy!! The memories!!! He went to Columbia with my kids and was a friend to me from the time I bought the North End Tavern. He even worked there for a while and was always a conscientious friend. When I sold the place and at last retired, he kept me abreast of what was happening in the old Hilton neighborhood. I'll never forget the night his brother Jim had caught a 60 lb. Cod off Mass. and he and Joe brought me a couple of pounds of it which I cooked w/garlic up stairs. Great!
Sadly, Joe called me in FL to tell me of the death of my last bartender, Gary Bollaro. Joe was one lovely human being and had been a friend to me and my family for nearly 19 years.

I'm so sorry that I didn't know of Joe's passing until today, March 6, 2009. He was a valued friend and former employee. And I know deeply he loved his brothers and their children. And the deer hunting in Connecticut.

I only just found out myself this weekend at a party with several former high school classmates I hadn't seen in 30+ years that Joe has passed. We wrestled together and often I wondered what he was doing. Sometimes life just takes you in different directions but he is one person I wish I had the opportunity to stay in touch with. He was a good person and always super positive. He made me a better wrestler because of his constant encouragement. I was saddened to learn of his departure from this life. All who knew him are lucky to have had that opportunity.

I last spoke with Joe in 2003 while I was on a mobilized active tour of duty prior to deploying to Iraq. I had a fun telephone conversation with Joe, promising to get over to "Jersey" soon to look him up.
Well time passed by before I realized how much it did, and as I came across Joe's number while I was cleaning out old "stuff", I decided to Goggled his name to call and say hello. My Google search delivered this rather somber notice.
I recently became aware of the passing of two former military acquaintances this past year. News such as this only drives home the point of never leaving for tomorrow what you can do today to say hello to someone you know.
Joe was absolutely a great individual. Always with a quick smile, a laugh, and with a great sense of humor. His Indian newspaper stand lines were a hallmark of that jovial spirit!!!
Sorry Joe, I really wished that I called to say hello much, much sooner.
To a good Soldier, and friend.... Rest in peace, you will be certainly missed by all those who knew you.
