Dr. Baldassarre was a fine man and great doctor. He delivered me almost 50 years ago and my sisters as well. I still remember his house calls. As mentioned by others, great lollipops and good memories. May God's peace be with you all.

To the Baldassarre Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of Dr. Baldassarre. He was my grandmother's (Alice Cochran) doctor first, then my parents, Lorance and Barbara Cooper. He delivered me and my brothers. Every time I hear a really squeaky door or music like WJIB, it brings me back to his waiting room, keeping a close eye on all the people there to see goes into his office before me.

He was a good man and will be greatly missed. He always had great lollipops.

Dr. Baldassarre was a great person. He brought me and the rest of my siblings into the world. He was someone you could talk to and he always made you feel better. My whole family swore by him in the medical dept. He seemed to have all the answers. We will always remember him throughout our lives. We loved him.

Dear BALDASSARRE FAMILY,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time, for the loss
of beloved Dr. Baldassarre.
I remember all the great times spent over the years, at Somerville hospital. Joe was always there for his patient's and those of us who worked with him.
Most of all I remember the long talks Joe and I would have, his retirement party that we had for him, and the times we gathered at functions with Joe and Rose.
Joe was and is loved by many
he will be missed.
