Praying! Hope he's at Christ because they have the best trauma surgeons.

Prayers are on the way! May God be with him and all the family, hope he is doing better this am.

Please pray fo our cousin Joe! <3

I pray that my Uncle Joey will pull through! :-(

Praying for Joe and his family. Please update us on his progress.

Joe is an amazing man and I continue to pray for him and his entire family.

THIS is why the Village must either add at least a yellow flashing caution light at the crest of the 143rd street hill & 92nd Court and/or monitor the SPEED of vehicles travelling on 143rd, especially eastbound. They barrel through there at 50+MPH regularly. Poor guy!

I live on the corner and saw it happen. I was the first one on the scene. I have been praying for him, his family, and the women who hit him. I also agree there should be a light of some sort.

Joe is my father, and he remains in critical condition at Christ Hospital. While we appreciate the outpouring of prayers, we kindly ask that they continue. We have watched his condition improve slightly over the past two days, but this is going to be a very long road to recovery. The trauma caused to his head is very extensive, and has effected multiple parts of the brain. He is still in a deep coma, and only time will tell how much of a recovery he will be able to make.
Whether you know him or not, please put my dad in your prayers and don't give up on him. He is a stubborn man, who doesn't know when to quit and doesn't know how to fail.

I arrived upon that horrible scene shortly after the accident happened and have been searching for news of your father's condition. I am so heartened to hear he is at Christ and is a fighter. Her certainly has my prayers as probably those of every person who saw the aftermath. God bless you all and give you the strength to face the coming months.

Sending prayers to ur dad for full recovery god bless your dad and family

Uncle Joe is such an amazing man! I couldn't imagine life with out him. There's never a moment he can't bring a smile to my face. He is also one of the strongest guys I know. He's a fighter and we all believe in him. Come on get through it Uncle Joey! We love you so much!!

We're all praying for you done here in Florida, Uncle Joey! We love you so much!

Not to be a Debbie downer, but I do hope that he was wearing a helmet when the accident occurred. If not, the brain injuries might have been lessened. This is a lesson to all motorcyclists. You may enjoy the feeling of the breeze thru your hair, but wear a helmet. It may just save your life.

correction..If he was wearing a helmet, the injuries might be lessened.

Hey freddie, if you don't want to be "a Debbie downer" then don't. That's like saying "needless to say" and then saying it. Yes, everybody knows about motorcycles and helmets. I really doubt a helmet would have kept my brother's pelvic bone from breaking or stopped all the arteries and veins in that area from tearing. I doubt a helmet would have prevented 8+ of his ribs from breaking and puncturing both lungs and collapsing one. However, all the prayer from family, friends, friends of friends, all the people reading these posts and thousands more, are helping to keep my brother alive. So if you want to get on a soap box and make a speech, how about you stop being the type to blame the rape victim, and you start preaching "START SEEING MOTORCYCLES!" Or maybe even stuff like stop texting and driving, or pay attention to the task at hand while driving. When I was being raised, my father told each of his children that "when you get behind the wheel of a car, you are driving a 2 ton weapon." I do appreciate all the people here who are praying for my brother. I would even appreciate you, freddie, if you could get off your soap box long enough to say a prayer for Brother Joe!

I am sorry, but I have been preaching helmet safety for a while now. You see...my best friend, the best man at my wedding now resides in Resurrection cemetery because he felt that helmets were for sissys. He always said he "love the wind in his hair" and would never wear a helmet. Well..it cost him his life. If your brother wore a helmet...good for him. Yes, a helmet does not prevent broken hips, ribs and such, but it can save a life. All I read in the above was about Brain injuries. Thats what lead me to make my statement

He's literally one of the most genuine men I have ever met. I cannot even believe something like this could happen to him. I only had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times but he left an impression. To John and joe, as well as the rest of his family and friends my prayers go out to you all

no, no helmet, just his hard hat from his construction site. However, poor timing Freddie.

I want to thank all who have prayed for Joe, hes still fighting the fight! Today he had another surgery, God is working mighty miracles in Joe please continue to pray thank you. June Vanek ( Joe's wife)
