Joe was a wonderful, kind man and a killer musician. I had the pleasure of hearing him perform his music which was so different from that of other Houston musicians. I ran into him at a coffeehouse shortly before he died. I knew he was not well, but I had no idea he would leave us so soon. Rest gently, gentle soul. We will miss you.

I would like to expression my deepest sorrow for the lost of your dear loved one. At such times many look to God for comfort. Please take your Bible and look at what God promises for the future with regards to our dead loved ones. (John 5: 28 & 29, Acts 24:15) Yes, God really will defeat our enemy death forever. This will enable us to one day have the hope of seeing our dead loved ones again. I hope this message will be a source of comfort to you. If you have any questions feel free to contact one of Jehovah's Witnesses or log on to our website at JW.org.
Sincerely yours,
JW

I just read about the recent death of Joe and I know Susan and the Romano family and loved ones have saddened hearts today. So I wanted to share beautiful scripture where our heavenly Father, Jehovah, (Psalm 83:18), promises us that he is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: "And no resident will say "I am sick," ever again. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises here on earth, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25, Acts 24:15) Also, Titus 1: 2 tells us this promise of a resurrection: "is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie, promised long ago." Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it." For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 my email address is: myranj@centurytel.net

The good Lord moves in mysterious ways, and I would not have known of sweet Joe's passing, unless my own son had passed away on August 6th. Joe was Thomas's first guitar teacher. It was a perfect match. But as Thomas was a bass man, Joe encouraged him to move on to a bass player for his next teacher and that is what he did.
I remember listening to Mood Indigo in several settings, including Texas Children's Hospital where Thomas was receiving treatment. Joe's fine musicianship was a gift to all. I am encouraged in my grief to think of Thomas and Joe joining a mighty fine, heavenly jam session.
My heartfelt sympathies to Joe's family.

One didn't need to know Joe long or well to know that he was a genuinely kind, gentle and giving soul who loved life and people with equal abandon. His talent as a multi-dimensional artist was readily apparent, and he touched many through his music. But it was as a person that he shall be most missed. In the face of frightening odds, Joe never blinked; his grace, courage and humor were unwavering and inspirational. I like to think that Joe has crossed safely over, and much as a rose stem passes through the crevice, only to bloom on the other side, so shall Joe. We miss you, Joe...but we'll see you again. My deepest and most sincere sympathies to Joe's family.

I've known Joe for 40 years and every time I saw Joe, he made me a little better person. I don't know how he did it but a little bit of his magic dust seemed to rub off on me. Sure, everyone who knew Joe knew he was a fine musician, songwriter,singer, producer and actor, but his greatest quality was his kindness and love for his friends. I have so many stories but they really don't matter. I love you Joe, you were one of a kind.

I attended the University of St. Thomas and was in the music and theater department during the time Joe also attended. Though we weren't that close, we had many mutual friends, and sometimes our performances paralleled each other. I remember good times with our friends, and with Joe, who had a great sense of humor and was a very talented musician. My sincerest condolences to the family in his untimely and early passing.

I knew Joe's brother Roger "Rock" from my TV and radio days at KTRK and KNUZ and am so sorry for Rock's loss and the immediate family. He will be missed by everyone his life touched.

Dear Susan and family,
Over the years, whenever I was told that someone died I have had the habit of closing my eyes and picturing them with God. If I see them, I think, "Great." If I don't, I know I've got some praying to do.
When I heard about Joe, I closed my eyes and, sure enough there they were. Joe was talking with God and they were both picking something out on their guitars. Then before I could focus on that wonderful picture they were off! Their Spirits shot straight up into the universe, first twisting and dancing together, making music and being in love. Then everyone else must have heard the music or felt it (however that happens) and there were billions of bright colorful Spirits shooting and dancing in a celebration like none other.
Enjoy, our Joe! I love you.

Joe Romano was my very best friend for a very long time. He was the nicest, kindest, gentlest human being I have ever known, and probably ever will know. His generosity of spirit and calm intensity were almost contagious, in the most reverential way. And, as a good teacher does, he taught us this by demonstration every time we were around him. The world would be a much finer place if everyone were a little more like Joe.

The world lost an extremely talented man - an artist, a teacher, and a beautiful and decent human being. Every time I saw him he had that smile. Joe joins many others that I have lost to cancer. He will not be forgotten!

In memory of a kind, gentle, and creative soul, who will be deeply missed.
In sincerest sympathy,
"Though you need to weep his loss
He dwells in that safe place in your heart
Where no storm or night or pain can reach him.
Though you cannot see him with outward eyes,
Your soul's gaze is upon his face,
Smiling back at you ...
When beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones."

It was a privilege to have known Joe and to have my son study music with him. I will always remember him for his great smile, the mischievous twinkle in his eye, and his kind gentle spirit. Susan and Joe's love and respect for one another was truly inspiring and a love story to be admired. Go with God, Joe, and join the choirs of angels.

I will remember Mr. Joe and his gifts to all of us at Small Steps. His smile, his music and most of all, his love for all the kids at Small Steps have been lessons in love and life. Thank you, Mr. Joe, for shining your light on us and filling our hearts with songs and love!

Susan, we were fortunate enough to have met you and Joe in 2013. In fact, ya'll played at our wedding in March of 2013. We didn't have to spend alot of time with you two, to see how special ya'll are and how much in love you two were. We are saddened to hear of Joe's passing, and will remember both of you in our prayers. God now has another beautiful voice to add to his heavenly choir. May he rest in peace.
