Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

We offer our deepest sympathy. When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, many cry out with great sorrow. Your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Never was it his purpose for our human lives to be taken away. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, prayer to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible assures us God "is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot." Psalm 147:3.

In the hustle of the holiday season, I missed the notice of the passing of Joe. I grew up across the street from the Regal and remember the Graziano's as great neighbors. I will be forever grateful to Joe for his kindness and career advise in, what he knew, is a difficult business.
To Joe's children, you know what a great guy he was, now you see what how much he meant to others.
I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked with Joey when he was at WRUN. Then, when he had the Regal restaurant in East Utica, my wife Myra and I made it a point to visit every time we were in town. I think whole pizzas were something like a buck seventy-five.
He always had time to schmooze when we were in the restaurant, and he was a gracious man who will be very much missed.

I offer up my deepest sympathy to Joe's family and close friends. Joe was a kind co-worker at WTLB and WRUN and I will always hear his voice when I remember him. May God bless you in your time of mourning. (Matt. 5:4)

Our deepest sympathy to the Graziano Family. We've known Joe since our high school days and he was always witty, cheerful and friendly. We greatly enjoyed listening to him on his morning Cuppa Joe show. He brought a lot of cheer to all his listeners through the wonderful music he played and to the ongoing radio conversation he provided everyone. He will be greatly missed by those of us who had the privilege to know him and listen to him through the years.

Shirlee, our condolences to you and all of your family. Especially John, Mark, Rocky and Vinny with whom I had the most contact other than Joe. They can all contest to the good times Joe and I had over many years. I will never forget him and I cherish the CD on Italian heritage that he made sure to send me.
Sincerely,

My thoughts and prayers go to the Graziano Family. I know what you are going through. I can remember going for a fish fry on friday nights and if you were a little late, you were out of luck. But you could depend on a GREAT Italian meal. If I needed some sauce sister Terry, would be the one to call.

Joe and I met when we were sitting vigil at St. Luke's Hospital; he for his then wife, Carm, and I for my dad. He was a constant comfort to me and my family during that time. I have lost a good friend and will miss him dearly. My condolences to his family.

Our sympathy to Joe's family. I lived next door to the "Regal Resturant" growing up, Joe had a wonderful sense of humor, his sister Terry and I would go in the resturant and ask Joey to make us a pizza, he used to say "Your a pizza now get the heck out of here. That was over 50 years ago and I still laugh about it. Joe will be missed. Joyce (Polera) Bevilacua and B ob Bevilacqaua

It's not goodbye to Mr. Radio of Proctor High in the early '50s. We can still hear your voice and the best music ever. We'll never forget the kid with the Prox sweater on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour. Cuppa Joe, you filled our cups to the brim and we'll see you one day in that Great Place. God Bless, The Chancia Twins
