To the family of Joe Marchese, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your dad was a truly wonderful gentleman. I worked with him at Sunbeam and we worked some of the conventions together as well. He and your mother will both be deeply missed. Miss Beverly was a true sweetheart. Please know that your dad thought the world of you all and spoke of you all often. I enjoyed the times I spent with both of them. My sincerest condolences.

Mr. Joe was a good and kind man .I enjoyed the time we were able to spend together.. he will be greatly missed.

Mr. Joe as I called against his orders was a very good man. He trained me at Sunbeam. His favorite line was it "Doesn't make sense for both of us to get wet", during the training days. I pray God's blessings for all the family on the loss of such a good man as Mr. Joe. I have many pleasant memories of him.
