To Josef Desimone entire family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our organization was able to benefit from the kindness & generousity that Josef offered through his direct advocacy with Google to support non profits such as ours in domestic violence, elder abuse & many more. It is not often that a person with special skills will go beyond ones work & Josef is a true example of great hearts and humanity. Thank you Josef for supporting those in needs and your contributions & impacts will not be forgotten.

Joe, I can remember playing guitar with you on that Christmas week. You were so much fun to hang with and play music.
I know you bought my guitar from me, just to help me out, you knew it wasn't much of a guitar, but you knew I needed a little help, so you bought the Dean from me. That was so nice of you. I hope you played it some. Love and Light to Penny and Brown at this tragic time. I miss you all.

I know that there are no words that can begin to give you the peace that you need to begin to heal from this tragic loss. All you can do is look to God for his love and mercy to get you through the days, weeks and months ahead. Put your trust in Him and He will supply your every need. Love you both!!! We are here if you need us for anything at all!

Josef,
I remember meeting you at your mom's in FL. You were a very loving man then and become more so the older you grew. Your mama and Brown were very proud of you and spoke of you often when I visited them.
You are gone from sight but you will never be forgotten.
Penny, Brown and the rest of the family. I love you, sending prayers on the smoke.

When I visited Facebook to see my daughter Lyndsay, Josef was a gracious and charming host. It was a pleasure to have known him. His kindness and upbeat nature made such a positive impression on me and I am sure others as well. Josef will be missed by many.

I only knew Josef vaguely in school but it was especially sad to hear of the tragic passing of a fellow motorcyclist. Ride eternally Josef as there's a spirit that watches the souls of fallen riders.

Always so so sad to stop seeing one of your own after they past. Embrace the replacement kids. They also feel the hurt in trying to fill the place of your lost loved one. That is not what our dear departed would naturally want and realistically work must go on. He or she will keep your beloved alive if you facilitate the honor. Josef will no doubt be in charge of this so compliment your new chef for Josef is watching out for each and everyone of you that he left unexpectedly. True love never dies. Peace and contentment will come in time to the close one in Josep's family, we must, and without knowing any of you. I must say, that thanks to Mark's words, I share the void. So I and I imagine you will, implore good memories will dominate the immediate passing of hours, days, etc. Sincerely Mayda, In Las Vegas, Nevada
