...Ten years, It took me this long to process and speak about a man who never treated me like I wasn't his blood-family. He checked on me and dropped jewels of practical wisdom even after acouple family splits ten years prior, This was a brave self governing man. ...I'll never forget that, or all our times with you & Randy with all the beautiful children for parties.
-Thank you Uncle Joe
Rest Well.

Jess and Joey,
My heart aches for you both as I can relate all to well the pain you are feeling. Your Dad was a great guy who loved you both so much. He was and will always be proud of you. You were the light in his world. I am honored to be your "honorary sister". I will miss him soooo much. I keep waiting for him to pull up in front of my house and peep the horn until I come out. When I would come out all he did was say come on Doo Doo let's go for a ride....to the dog! I miss his texts whether it be a simple "xoxo" or some crazy thing I couldn't understand. I hope we stay close always and I will always be here for you. xoxo!

Joe....I still can't believe it! I can't believe you are gone. Thank you for loving my Dad, me, Katie and Doo. I can only imagine the stories you boys are sharing. Don't forget that hug, kiss, and all I asked you to tell my Dad. I am so honored to have been your "step-daughter" as you called me. Rest well and enjoy the beaches of heaven. Run into the sunset with my Dad, Gordon and Mickey! No more Super Bowl Sundays without your boys! Doo-Doo will miss you and all those treats! My love to you all always and forever. Joe you will live in my heart forever!

Perretti Family....my deepest sympathy and I hope the legacy of love will continue and that you will keep us as a part of your family.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

To the entire Perretti Family...

Joey was a special friend. Our friendship began in 1969 and although there were gaps in the time we would talk and/or see each other, when we did talk and/or see each other it always seemed as though it was just yesterday.

I remember Joey teaching me how to drive a stick shift. It was hilarious. He said, "ya better move over and let me show you how to handle this beast before you burn it all to #%&*.

He always kept my cars looking good and when I would ask him what I owed him, he would say, "get outta here after you take care of my staff."

Joey was truly an amazing friend and he will truly be missed and I am ever so thankful for the everlasting memories throughout the years.

God bless you Joey, you were one heck of a pal and while I am lost without your voice, I am thankful you are not in pain anymore.

God bless the family he left behind, but know he is in Heaven above watching over each and every one of you.

Dolores and family,

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Words can not be expressed on how we know you are feeling at this time. No one should lose a son or a brother at such a young age.
Know that he is in a better place, free of all pain and suffering.

God Bless you,

Jim and Carol Jakubowski
