Steve and Renee,
I felt so bad when hearing of Joel's passing. I can't imagine the feelings of loss and despair you're feeling. When someone as good and young as Joel passes, it's because God needs another angel. I love you both very much, and you remain in my prayers and thoughts. Rog

My deepest condolences to Joels family. The time spent with you in Pine Haven will never be forgotten.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands laid to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Dear Bill & Antoinette,
We just heard the tragic news today of your son's passing. It's difficult to find the words that adequately express the sadness we feel for you and your family. We remember well the times Bill spoke so proudly of his son, especially when he showed us the "NFL" room where he grew up. Living in what was not so long ago the Radicchi family home, we are constantly reminded of the love and care that was here long before we were. We fondly refer to the two bedrooms as "Gina's room" and "Joel's room". We wish you the Lord's comfort during this very difficult time. Please know that you are in our prayers.

I am so sorry that I was not able to be with you at the time of Joel's wake and funeral. My travel schedule this year gives me little time in Binghamton. I remember first meeting Joel when Renee taught my sons Jeb and Grant at Riverside Nursery School. Joel was the light of your life. My heart aches for all of you. I can't begin to imagine the deep and profound pain that comes from surviving your child. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless!

You left us so suddenly we did not have a chance to say good-bye. You were the greatest nephew with a heart that knew no boundaries. Everyone who had the good fortune to know and love you have been blessed forever. Look down upon your family and give us the strength we need to move forward.
Our lives are a bit less full without you but our hearts will always be full of love for you. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
All our love, Uncle Mike and Aunt Laura

I did not know Joel, but it sounds like he was a wonderful human being, just like his mom.
Please accept my apologies, as I cannot be there this week for you. But I will be there for you in the weeks, months and years ahead, please call me for anything.
May the wonderful memories you have of Joel, lessen your grief.
Please be strong and know that he is in a better place and is watching over you until you meet again. God has a wonderful new angel.

Bill and Andonetta,
When my son Mario came downstairs on Friday morning my heart sank. I never knew Joel personally but I knew of him and had seen him a few times. Everyone speaks so highly of Joel You must be proud at what a great young man he was. This past Easter Terry (the man I live with) lost his 21 year old son. It will not ever make sense and there's nothing anyone can say to make it o.k. The death of a child is not natural to a parent. Please keep your family and friends close to you and lean on them. Try and remember the time you had with Joel and not the time that you have lost. Life isn't fair and doesn't always make sense. Cherish your memories of Joel because no one can ever take those from you and your family. If you need anything please contact us. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Renee and Steve:
I wish I could explain to you in words what this loss has meant to us us as a family. My heart went to my stomcah and I just sat and cried. We remember how very well Joel treated our girls as if they were his own sisters and that is something we will forever remember. One of the last times we saw you all on a Christmas gathering and as we were all leaving I remember saying to you, that you had a pure gentelman as a son. That is the impression I am certain he left on many folks. With the few opportunities I got to meet with him I have the impression he is looking down at us right now telling us all he is doing well and thanking the Lord for a wonderful life and family he has. We will miss but never forget Joel. God blessed us all for having Joel in our life and that is an opportunity we are glad to have had.

Parting Thoughts
It’s important that you know this:
how much you meant to me,
how much I know you shaped me,
and my world,
gave me colors, imaginings and aspirations for who I could be;
You dared me to dream,
strived to “set me straight”
toward the proper paths and ways---
ways of becoming someone to be proud of,
someone who commits,
and gives,
and becomes a contributing part of this world;
Mom, I hope I made you proud,
even if just a fraction of how pleased I am to be of you,
to have grown up with you,
and have you a part of who I was,
and who I’ll remain always in your memory;
I want you to know that I understand…..
the struggles that you’ve faced on my part,
all of the whys,
all of the tears,
all of those crazy years where we battled…
I always loved you,
and knew your intentions were rightly aimed,
despite the conflicts and the pains;
I want you to know that I’m sorry...
for this abrupt departure,
it wasn’t in my plan,
it is never in our hands,
My commission here strangely satisfied,
Not for us to question why;
You gave me life, and breath,
taught me of joy, and love and death;
You gave me riches I could have never gained,
in any earthly way;
Thank you for always being there,
For your belief in me,
For never giving up the fight
For giving me the perfect life.
Love ya’, Mom.
Joel
