The list of condolences includes this message:

Name: Jim and Katie Leyland
Relation: Pirate Family
Everyone loved Joe and the Lonnett Family. We are thinking of all of you .




And this message from Duke Sims, former catcher for the Indians (and others):

Name: Duke Sims
Relation: Retired MLB
My sympathies on the passing of a super guy. I played at the time Joe
coached for the White Sox. I admired him immensely and I know that
while we have a grieving period there is joy in knowing that he
resides with the Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless you at this time.
