Val,
I did not know about the passing of your father. Due to Mundo´s passing and now the Pandemic I seem to be out of the loop. I was seeing where a La Mantia won the election and remembered you and your father since I had not heard about you all in a long time. I am so sorry to find out that he passed and I did not know to acknowledge this and express my condolences. So sorry to hear about your loss. I at home, still isolating, so if you ever need anything I am always here.

My sincere condolences to the passing of Joe Jr as my dad referred to him. I unfortunately came upon the news after trying to reach out to him to notify him of the passing of my father, Vincent LaMantia of Tucson, AZ back in November.

They were first cousins and their father's started LaMantia Arrigo Bros Produce in Chicago. My grandfather is Philip LaMantia. My father would always talk about his time spent on Uncle JV's farm by Lake Michigan. He sure could detail a tornado that hit the farm 80+ years ago!

Again my condolences on Joe Jr's passing.

It is hard to believe that it has almost been one year since your passing on Flag Day. Considering the positive contributions you made to this country, it is appropriate to pay respects on this day. God bless you, Mr. LaMantia, for the gift of such a wonderful family and for all the good works they continue to as your legacy.

I received a flyer in the mail today from a Morgan LaMantia & I recognized the last name instantly and then noticed a picture of her and Mr LaMantia on the back..
Upon googling her name to see who was her parents I came across the obituary for her grandfather..
I worked for L&F Distributors from `96-2000 out of the Alice/Beeville location and had a pleasure of meeting Joe jr on several occasions. My sincere condolences to the family & prayers sent up

My heartfelt sympathy to the entire La Mantia family Joe was a maverick. Throughout the years I felt privileged to work with him on campaigns for candidates and good causes. May the family find comfort in the legacy Joe leaves here on Earth and in knowing that he lived an exemplary life, a good and full life.

My sincere prayers and condolences on the loss of Papa Joe. Wonderful man with the kindness of hearts. Watching a peaceful death of a loved one reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. Papa Joe you were that beautiful Star in the sky that never stopped given to the less fortunate. May you Rest in Peace. May the Lord give each of you strength knowing he is rejoicing with our Lord Savior. Judge Sallie Gonzalez
