It is with profound sadness that I learned of the passing of Uncle Joe. Fifty-six (56) years ago I married Elaine and was the first “Irishman” to marry into the Italian family. (It was a big deal in those days) It was a wonderful union. Uncle Joe was always supportive of us and treated Elaine as one of his daughters. He gave us excellent advice, supportive encouragement, and superb hospitality. Our visits to Saratoga Springs, his horses and his conversations were the highlights of our years. Whenever Uncle Joe visited the New York/Long Island area, we always made time to spend time with him. He was truly in a class of his own. So, to say he will be missed is an understatement. He was truly special and one of the “Greatest Generation.” May he rest in peace.
