So Sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Joe - he was one of my favorite people
in the world - I'll always remember him best fishing at the cottage and always with a guitar in hand and a song - memories I'll treasure always.
Rest in Peace.

What a wonderful man Poppa Joe was! I have a feeling that he's going to charm all the Angels into putting aside their harps and taking up the drums. RIP...you'll be missed.

Sorry to hear of Poppa Joe's passing. He was one of my first drum teachers when I first playing in a pipeband and such an amazing, friendly man. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to all the family. I know doubt have part of my name thanks to Uncle Joe. I have many fond memories of him visiting my parents with Uncle Fred. He was a real character and always made me laugh.

Very sorry to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. He was a favourite uncle and would always be keen to take us kids fishing or to pull out his guitar and sing some "old classics". A real "fun" guy. Never boring. Will be missed.

Our deepest sympathy to your family for your loss. My mom Irene Rosano is very saddened to hear the news of her brother. She is not well enough to travel but sends her love to everyone. She always had lovely things to say about my Uncle Joe, he will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to all the family on the loss of "Poppa Joe". You knew him best. Many, like me, have been missing him for quite some time now; but it was in our minds that we would see him again soon, to talk, to laugh, to play cards, to see a movie and to laugh some more. It was not to be. I hope he realized how much he was loved by those who knew him.God bless you all as you mourn a sweet man. "Betty Boop"
