My mentor, my colleague, my boss and my friend. I loved Joe and thank him for all the years we worked together and the years we stayed in touch. What a wonderful, caring, devoted man he was. Love to Janice, Valerie, Paul and the rest of the family. He will always be remembered!

I graduated from Roslyn High School in 1970. In addition, to being my gym teacher, Mr. Lettera taught me how to drive one summer during Driver's Ed. Since there were only a few students in our car with him, it was an opportunity to get to know him on a more personal level. What a nice man and what a wonderful teacher; I've always had very fond memories of that summer.
