Dear Marge,
I learned only this evening of Joe's death. I extend my sincere sympathy to you and to all of your family.
Certainly our families go back to St. Patrick's School and St. Joseph's Church (since it was a mission of St. Pat's and we all lived in New Windsor).
I will celebrate a Month's Mind Mass for Joe on September 13. May God give all of you His peace.
Sincerely,
Fr. Hilary Rodgers

I worked at Roskin's with Joe & for a short while his son John. Joe always had a smile and hello every time you seen him. Even though the warehouse crew were all pretty much right out of high school Joe had no problem interacting with all of us. I will always remember him with a smile.

We were so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. We got to know Joe and the whole Tiso family when we all attended St. Joseph's in New Windsor. What fun that time was. Joe was always a hard worker for the parish. He always greeted everyone with a smile. He will be missed.

To the Tiso Family,
I worked with Joe at Roskin Bros. when I first came home from college. He took the time to explain why certain things were done in particular ways, always with understanding and patience, knowing that I was still learning. I'll always remember him as a good, kind and respectful person. My sincere sympathies to you for your loss.
