I knew Joe because I am a FFCU credit union member and I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Joe was very kind and patient with me while I was going through a financial rough patch several years ago. It was Joe's kindness and trust that kept my car from getting repossessed. My condolences to Joe's family.

I was greatly saddened to hear of Joe's passing. Joe and I were college roomates 40 years ago. He taught me cribbage and bridge, two important skills in life. I always enjoyed his good humor and sharpe intelligence. Sadly we drifted off to our lives loosing contact and a good friendship. Joe and I reestablished contact just months ago. I was looking forward to years of a renewed friendship. Well, goodbye my friend.

To the Cortellino Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Joe was a wonderful man that I had the pleasure of working with in the Filene's credit department as well as dealing with him as a member of the FFCU. May you have comfort in knowing he is in a better place with a front row seat watching all the great old time Yankees play ball. He will be missed and always remembered. Always keep him in your conversations and he will live on forever in your hearts.

Joe will be sadly missed at Filene Credit Union. It won't be the same around here without Joe's fun spirit, his laughter and his great stories of all his adventures.

My prayers go out to his family.
May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I worked with and for Joe at J&N Taxi of Lowell for many years. He was one of the best dispatchers this city will ever have! I can remember him having 15 cabs moving on one night. He was kind, well-spoken and funny! Rest-In-Peace, Joe.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe at the Filenes Credit Center and then at the Filene Credit Union. He was personable, funny, hard working and a very valuable employee asset. I will miss him and I wish his family the best.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not work with him, but I did have the pleasure of dealing with him at the credit union. He was always willing to give me money. He said one time that he would give my husband some extra money if he wanted to buy a new boat and of course I had to decline. My husband was not happy about that, Joe just chuckled.

Joe was a very nice man and employee at the credit union. He always assisted me with my loans and was always professional. Whenever I would see him outside of his job he would always greet me with a smile. I will miss seeing him in the credit union.

May God bless his family.
