We did a lot of things together. Eeee worked together, made a movie together, played music and acted silly together. He was a great person and he will always have a special place in my heart

Joe, I and a third student often enjoyed recess in elementary school together. He was kind, loyal, thoughtful and handsome with a great sense of humor. He knew I was an avid coin collector and one morning in September 1964, he surprised me with a 1913-D cent for my collection.
My sympathies to Brian, Joe's brother, and all other family members.

Such a tragic loss. We miss him dearly.
When God calls one of his children home they must go.
To Brian and the Abbate family may you find comfort that an angel is watching over us.
Love,
Stanley and Oliver

Brian, the love and compassion you showed Joey was beautiful and surely made him feel secure even on his darkest days. You were his sunshine and I know he cherished every moment with you. Let his love for you carry you though this emotional time to a time of peace. If you ever need someone to talk to, let it be me.


All my love, Lena
