Son... It's been four years today,to try and explain how this has affected me, all u need to do is look into my eyes. For the sadness of this day is seen in them. I think now that it's your son's I feel the sadest for, for they don't have you. I am so proud of the man you grew up to be, I have our memories, sadly thats all we all have. Son if there is a here-after I will look forward to that day. But not till I finish my misson...Love You Son..xxxooo

I will say that your three SONs will carry your name and your memory proudly. You recently were inducted into the Pittsfield Hall of Fame,a very deserving honor. I just wish it was you who was there to receive the honor, I had your boys and Carol with me to accept this honor,which made me a very proud father. I love and miss you deeply and dearly. Love Dad

Joe.. This has been a tough week in here in Mass. Terrorist bombed the Boston Marathon, and we weep. Got talking about U this week and I weep. I watched as fans at the Bruins game sang our National Anthem and we weep. Yesterday U welcomed a new soul, on earth his name was Sean Collier, he was a police officer gunned down by these terrorist, he was your age Joe, and we wept. Also they found these guys and one went straight to Hell, the other was captured alive and will be going there in a few years. I know how U would of reacted and we could of wept together over the senseless lost of LIFE! Were all fine here and miss U so very, very much. We will say prays for the innocent souls taken too early. Love Dad and Carol

Today two years ago I not only lost a son I lost my buddy. We use to go everywhere together.I remember when we went to my cousins Sam and Karen Anellos house. He was only 3 or 4 and he was such good little helper we made a video of that day and its a real treasure of mine. He was such a good kid and young man, I been asking why God took him from us, Why with so much life ahead of him, WHY? His life was just begining he had a beautiful new wife and three find sons. He was such a good human being, kind, considerate and with a smile that would light up any room. Your so saddly missed all our lives were changed this day two years ago and they won't ever be the same. I will have 3 musketeers in your honor today Son, just like the way we use to share them. Miss u kid, Dad

Son, there's not a day that go's by that the lasting memorys of you doesn't cross our minds. Like when I was raking, looking around the empty yard wishing you were there and tearing up or like when you came by, how it would bring a smile to our faces. The other day was your son's 9th birthday, who by the way you would be so proud of, he's a good looking boy as are all your Son's, it's so sad that you didn't get the chance to be here too enjoy and with Robbie's 4th birthday coming soon ,my heart hurts cause I know that you won't be there to wish him a, "happy birthday, son". Jimmy is getting so big and handsome, We wish you were here. Its so hard Joe I often wonder how I get though the day, I feel for Kristi and the boys the pain is got too be overwheming. We all miss you so very much, and wishing you were still here. The worse is that we just don't understand WHY,WHY,WHY!!!!! I guess I will wrestle with that till my final day. We love and miss you so very much. XXXXXOOOOO Dad & Carol

My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow,what it meant to lose you,no one will ever know
I miss and love you so much joe we all do

Joseph Di Filippo Sr.

January 5, 2012

Joe, Its hard to beleive its been a year since you left us. Me & Carol miss you more than you'll ever know.It's been a rough year and I'm not sure it'll get any easier for me, you were such a large part of our life, there is a large void to say the least. So much has happen over the past year, some things I know you would be upset about and others you'd be proud about also, I know how modest you were yet over the past year your friends showed us how much they cared for you and for what you did in your life, and I couldn't be prouder. One thing is for certain you will never be forgotten. Kristi has had a very rough time without you and we are trying our best to be there for her and your boys, she knows we care deeply for her and your sons. We heard from Joe yesterday he sounded great, I just wish he was still around here, he is such a good boy just like Jimmy and Robbie. You really left us with some handsome boys! I saw and heard your voice for the first time yesterday and I cried as did Carol. We miss you so much. I know that some day we'll be together again, hope you were re-united with your brother Jim and make sure you make your Aunt Pauline laugh. Untill our next entry. Love and Miss you Dad & Carol

January 4, 2012

today is the anniversary of a piece of my heart being taken away from me and my family. the only comfort i have is that i will see u again someday. i will not be filled with deep sadness today. i will remember not your sudden parting but instead will celebrate the life, love and happiness we shared. our memoiries will live on forever with me and our boys. it has been a tuff day all ready and its only 11. i couldn't sleep at all last night. and when i finally slept it was for a few hours. sitting with robbie makes it twice as hard. he looks just like u. jimmy went to school today. but he started to cry when he saw it face in the paper today. it was sad. we r going with ur dad and carol to the cemetery to send off some balloons for you. it is so hard to go to ur dads house. brings back so many memories. we miss joe joe too. the boys haven't spoken to him since thanksgiving and i haven't spoken to him since the day ur dad had a going away party for him when he moved to sc. please use ur angel magic and let us talk to him.
i know, in time.
look over him. guide him. follow him. and us as well.
we miss and love you forever and ever babe....

It was so hard yesterday without u by our sides. It was really difficult for our boys. They miss their daddy a lot. We spent christmas Eve and christmas day remembering the good times and looking at pictures. The boys remind me a lot of u. Robbie looks just like u and Jimmy acts just like u. So I may not have u physically but I have u in our boys. I see U everyday though them. Thank u for blessing me with them. We miss Joe Joe sooo much. The boys talk about him all the time. As u know, we aren't allowed to talk to him, but we will. In time, he will come home and we will be here . We spent some time at ur dads house yesterday. That was extremely hard. Being there without u. I felt u though. I always do. Thinking of the day when I will see ur handsome smile again. I love u forever n ever babe!!!

Joe, Its hard to beleive that this is our first chistmas that your not with us. It wasn't the same, oh I put on a good face, but inside of me was hurting. Its a hurt that will be with me till we meet again and we will son, we will. We got to spend chistmas with your family and your son Joe called, It made the day better, but it's not the same . I wish this did'nt happen it's changed all our lives so much, I feel so bad for Kristy and your sons for you not being there for them is difficute to say the least, yet me and Carol will be there for them as much as we can, its just so unfair and I cry offen. I miss you son, love Dad

We miss you so much and a part of me has left with you and my life will never be the same. We will say a pray for you today at the dinner table out at your Aunt Toni's and Corks, your family will be with us and we'll send a toast out to you kid. I can't say anymore.

Joe Its Nov 1st and just a year ago we had so much hope and yet the reality of what was to come hit us all hard. Since you been gone I've made sure you would never ever be forgotten. The Brown junoirs played their hearts out, and Pete has done a great job,and Rob speaks of you often, but county is so differant. You'd be proud of Chris, he is playing better and better and Zack came to play too, hope he returns next year also. Jaylen is fast but got hit hard a few times and sat out a few quarters, if he had some good blocking, he'd be the mvp, he miss's you so as we all do. We're getting you a nice stone, again so no one will ever forget you son. You were a great guy we all miss you dearly. Your boys are getting so handsome and big. Jimmy played his first year and you'd be so proud, he has one last game coming up this weekend. Kristi is so heart broken, but she's hanging in there its been tough on her. Taconic is honoring you by hanging a banner at every game and then in the gym for the remainer of this year and maybe more. One thing I can say Joe is you were loved by all in life that you touched. we miss and love you son. Love Dad & Carol XXXXOOOO

I miss you so much, there isn't a day that go's by that your not in my heart and thoughts, its so damn unfair! You were a great guy and I am happy that we were able to spent the time last summer working together, it'll never be the same, never! My heart is so broken, sometimes I just break down and cry, and cry. I give anything to have you back with us, even my own life, if thats what it would take. It's been 6 mo., almost 7, its still so hard to beleive that your not going to walk through the door and say Hi Dad, oh Son, why!! I wish I had a answer. I need to go now; Will see your beautiful family today, football will start in a couple of weeks, and I know your boys are ready and will keep your ole Dad busy. I'll miss the hell out of you not on the field and I know you will be looking down on us as we make you proud of them, as you did Me!! Love DAD XXXOOO

Kristi been having a rough time of it, hopefully after the 29th we all can have some closer and you'll be near your step brother Jim and your friends and family can come an visit with you, I wish this wasn't the way, I'm so sorry Joe, Till my next time.

Son, Today marks 4 months that you left us, and for me life is not the same, and I think it never will. I'm so sad, everyday my thoughts race back to words we shared and the times we spent together. Just the fact I can't talk to you on the phone anymore, just nothing at all, just the pictures of your life and many great times together, either with your mom or with Carol, you were a great kid and we are all so proud of you. You left us with three beautiful sons, and even though I know that you not here to watch them grow in to men I will be your eyes Joe, we will all be, and I know you would be very proud, Son I'm going to close for now and I will add more later. I love You Kid, Dad P.S. Saw your boys and Kistie today they look so good and big Robbie is talking so good and he now weights 46lbs.,and Jimmy is so handsome. Saw Joe yesterday and he is doing well also and getting so tall, great bunch of boys. Well I'll talk more later,Bye Dad XOXOXOXOXO

Son, Well kid its easter and your not here, the last week has been real hard on me. I have been breaking down. Why God took you from us I don't know, I wish I knew the answer, I miss our talks, our hugs, Son I just miss it all. Today is Easter and your sons will be here, but you won't. I saw Joe yesterday, he looks great and so tall he reminds me of you at that age, yet he has a lot of sadness, as we all do.I'm so sorry Joe this just isn't FAIR!! I Love You and some day we'll be together again my son. Bye for now my SON. Love you and miss you DAD
