Joe was a light in this world. I will never forget the first time we met at the Anchor Bar. I waited on him and he complimented me on the wonderful service. The rest is history. He was part of our family. He will always be part of our family. And Joe made us all a part of his family as well. There are so many years filled with memories. So many happy times, and some sad ones, too. But the Anchor Bar family was always together. And we will always be together. My deepest condolences to...

My deepest sympathy for a wonderful, loving, funny guy.He will be greatly missed.Joe and Federica were meant for each other
