Joe was always so very kind. Even in moments of disagreement he was always respectful. I really enjoyed my time getting to know him. He will be deeply missed.
So very sad. Joe was a wonderful guy. He will be missed! Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I have known Joe Lettelleir and Becky for over 40 years. They would bring their trawler for service at my boat yard, Sailor's Wharf in the late 70’s. He and Rob Wedding took me to lunch at Pepin’s and the next thing I know he got me involved in Pinellas Marine Institute where I served on the board for 15 years. I will always remember that lunch! Joe was very committed to AMI Kids and PMI and was very proud of his involvement. I also remember Joe from my parish. St Raphael’s were I served as the first altar boy and also got married.
When I decided to sail around the world on SKY in 2018, he brought his Friday’s Fergs Lunch guys over to tour the project at my boat yard. He kept tabs on me, and we would talk every few weeks and had many lunches together. My last contact with Joe was just a few weeks ago when he wanted to know where I was on SKY. So, here I am in Bundaberg, Qld, Australia heading to Darwin to sail the 2nd half of the World ARC. Joe was very excited for me and wished me well in following my dream.
I offer Becky and the rest of his family my condolences. Joe’s family meant the world to him, and I know they will miss him. As I continue my voyage, I know that Joe will be smiling from above!
Thank you, Joe, for all the people you effected in a positive way!
This is so sad. Joe was such a fine man. We will miss him.
We were out of the country when Joe passed. Both Rod & I were shocked by the sad news. Joe was riding his bike the morning we left for our Cruise! Joe & Becky were some of the 1st neighbors we met moving into Placido Bayou. They were both Friendly, welcoming, helpful as we moved in. I’m so grateful to remember, shortly after they joined us & several other St. Raphael neighbors for a Blessing of our homes by Father Kevin. 🙏🏻
Sincere condolences to all the family.
