I want to send my deepest condolences to all of Joe's siblings and your extended families. I am your cousin Lucy Vergo's daughter Kathy, and great niece to dear Aunt Josephine. I remember so well Joe's wonderful smile and great laugh and all of his warmth. I have happy memories of those long ago days at your family home. I am glad to know that Sammy shared the photos I gave him last year at my mother's services with all of you and that it brought you some happiness. We know that Joe has joined his loving family in Heaven and I hope that this will bring you some comfort as you remember him.

With love,

To Joe's family, our hearts go out to you as you grieve the loss of a loving and funny man. We worked with Joe in Zone 23. He always had a smile and a story for us. Cliff enjoyed many, many lunches with Joe and Manny. It was the highlight of his day! Joe used to tell me about his relative with my same name.
We missed Joe when he retired and will miss him even more now. He's up there delivering God's mail now.

Dear Uncle Junior,
As your first and oldest nephew, we were only 7 years apart. Combine that with your ever youthful spirit, and that made you my favorite uncle, playmate, and advisor growing up. So fun, so kind, so gentle, always smiling, and always glad to see me. What kid wouldn't want to be like you, you handsome devil! Even when we didn't see each other for months or even years, our memorable conversations always picked up exactly where they left off, like it was just yesterday. It seems so sad and unfair that all the good ones like you leave us early. But I know you're in a better and wonderful place right now, and I'm very sure my Dad, Pete, as well as furry friends Sparky and Misty, were all there to welcome and comfort you until we're all together again.

Your Loving Nephew,

Joey Mannara

May God bless you & your family in this time of sorrow. I will always remember him as the mailman. My dad had worked at the Post Office with Joe. I also remember growing, up him coming to our house or being over your sister Anna's house.
