Just a follow-up to the message below. As Joe's friends and family will be very happy that they were able to know him for so long, sympathy may not be the best thing to express. Yes, they will be sad that he's no longer around, but they certainly won't be feeling sorry for themselves.
My own feelings are of admiration and my own written contribution to the celebration will be along such lines. Please note that the celebration will not be religious in any way.
