Joe my Good friend, and Family. Sad to hear about your Dad. Babe was a great guy, a great Cop and a good friend. He made me laugh just passing him in the hallway of the P.D. He had that laughter that was hard to duplicate.
Again, A Great guy and a Great Dad. May he Rest in everlasting peace and continue providing laughter to those around him.
God Bless him for being my friend.

To all of the Amoroso children,

How I loved your Dad like my own. I have such sweet memories of our families in Marshfield...such good times! How blessed we are to have been in each others' lives for so long.
Your father was a very unique man, always smiling, always lighting up the room. He was one of my Dad's dearest friends. We shall miss him terribly!
