Sorry to learn of this. Joe and I sold real estate at the same firm and enjoyed many happy conversations over lunch in St. Petersburg over the years. He was a great guy and a fine gentleman.

This is so sad. He was an awesome instructor and so helpful when I needed help. Not only did I do a full class with the him, I also caught classes every now and then when I needed some reference. I had immense respect for him.

I am floored! I’ve known Joe for about 30 years, meeting him for the first time when a mutual friend volunteered Joe to help me move! LOL! He helped many more times while in between becoming a good friend. As it turned out, we both lived in West Chester, so with a group of friends, we would go out to eat, dance, or just hang out. So sad, so young, so shocking. Condolences to Joe’s family and to Joe, RIP.

Although I only met Joe about two years ago, I am very grateful to have known him. His sweet smile and kind nature made me feel welcome right away. He was truly a gentleman that this world will miss.

I’m just beside myself with grief over Joe’s passing. I’ve known him for over 28 years and I just can’t wrap my head around this. He was a real stand up guy and it is an HONOR to have known him and to call him my friend… my best friend. I’ll never forget his beaming smile every time I referred to him as “my brother from another mother”… and he truly was. My world (and the entire world) was a much better place with him in it and he will be deeply missed.

Still hard to believe this is real. We just spoke a couple weeks ago and all seemed well. Mr. Troy was a great man. I had the pleasure of meeting him about 5 years ago in one of his classes while pursuing my RE license. He was always bright, cheerful, caring, insightful, and helpful. He genuinely cared about others and helping however he could. Lots of business related conversations between us, as well as some conversations about family and our hobbies. You will be missed, my friend.

Joe & I lived across the street from each other in the Historic Old NE neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Fl, and we became dear friends. We also worked together at Coldwell Banker Realty. We shared a couple of holiday dinners at my home, when he didn’t go home. Never expected this, he will be missed. He was a sweetheart. My condolences to Joes family. Rest In Peace, Your St. Petersburg sister/friend.~ Dawn G

Dave and I are so very sorry for your loss. Joe was loved by many and will be missed. It's hard to think about attending another Villanova Game Watch or Rays ballgame with the Villanova Club of Tampa Bay and not seeing Joe there. All our Love, Lori, Dave, & Madison Ussery

Words cannot express how shocked and sad I am to know this has happened. Joe was a wonderful teacher and friend to both Brodie and I. He was always there to help and always had time for you. He will be missed so much. My condolences to his friends and family. May you Rest In Peace Joe as we will always remember the many of us who you have helped become professionals at what we do. I will always remember my first day of Real Estate school when he said to me “I like your haircut”. Of course my head is shaved like his. You will be missed.

I met Joe in 1990 and we quickly became lifelong friends. It was a good match! We both had the gift of gab and both had a passion for baseball and Villanova. I had my first Chinese dinner with Joe at his favorite Chinese restaurant in West Chester. He was amazed I never had Chinese. It would become a favorite of mine especially when I lived in Brooklyn for a couple of years. Joe moved to High Point, NC and then Clearwater (Phillies spring training Mecca), Old St Pete and finally St Petersburg. I enjoyed visiting and Joe enjoyed being the Tour Director. I especially enjoyed getting texts from sunny Paradise (as he would call FL) during a Philadelphia snowstorm. I still can’t put my head around Joe being gone. When Jay Wright retired from Villanova this week, he was the first person I thought to contact. I will never forget my lifelong friend, until we meet again in a much better place, even better than Joe’s FL Paradise! I will keep Joe and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

Joe was a kind soul, always trying to help an individual. Good listener. I was fortunate to have him as a real estate colleague and client for many years. Spoke about his fondness of his family and of course Villanova. He made a difference to many he encountered..

Joe and I also worked together at Coldwell Banker for many years. We all (and his clients) simply adored this man. Thank goodness for all of the many fun-filled occasions we had together just to celebrate our friendships and our lives in general!!! His life was never wasted, not for a moment. Love to his sweet friends and family. He certainly left a legacy. Good for you, Joe!!!!

Joe was such an impressive person with an energetic, kind and personable personality. He was liked by all who came in contact with him. As a teacher/instructor with Charles Rutenberg Realty, he made sure you knew the subject matter. A very dear person. His strong convincing voice will be greatly missed!!!

I have read this obituary at least 20 times to try and accept Joe’s passing. I still can’t. I met Joe about 25 years ago, he was my supervisor. As the years went by and he left to pursue a different career path we still kept in touch. We would meet for lunch every month and catch up. A few years ago Joe came up with the idea of us each taking a day together to explore new places. He called this “the day of Joe”. Whether it was a museum, park or just a day exploring a different town we always had fun. He was my friend, confidant and brother. We trusted each other and were always there for each other and intense talks happened frequently. He used to make me cheesecake for my birthday. It is said that God brings people into your life for a reason and I am honored to have the time we knew each other. I will never forget him. I will never forget his contagious laughter. My deepest condolences to Joe’s family. I feel like I lost a piece of my heart but I know I will see him again. God Bless

I met Joe through the real estate school. We were each other's substitute teacher - I always knew I'd be teaching at least one of his classes if Villanova was in the basketball playoffs. Joe introduced me to the restaurant Harvey's on 4th in St. Pete - our preferred place for lunches. His standing order was a turkey rueben sandwich. My memories are of long lunches, sharing teaching tips, and discussing all things real estate - we were never at a loss for conversation! To Joe's family, please know I'm thinking of you and wishing you peace. Joe, I love you and will miss you.

Joe’s sudden passing to the Lord absolutely stunned many of us. I remember meeting Joe in Philadelphia in the 1990's through my best friend, John. Throughout the years that followed, I had the opportunity to see Joe at times during the holidays and summer. His infectious smile and kind and easy-going personality would brighten up anyone’s day. I was fascinated by his knowledge and interest in everything Villanova Basketball and Philadelphia Phillies. I also very much admired his generous care and concern for his dear parents and family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his siblings Rita, Rosemary, and Tom, to his extended family, and those who mourn his passing especially during this difficult time. May He Rest in Peace
