Aunt Dora,Joe,Sandy & Tom,

I am truly sorry for your loss and all of our losses as Uncle Joe was a great guy and new how to have fun, laugh and was always the kidder and always enjoyed life. He was a great uncle and will be missed so much that there are no words big enough.
I will always remember the great times I had visiting him in Florida, it seems like yesterday. I can also remember him on Gilbertville road in Ware, Mass. when I was 3 or 4 years old, always kidding me.

Papa Joe's smile and sense of humor has been silenced to our ears, it will never be silenced in our memories. Joe was the family protector he had a kind word with his unique smile for those who needed a boost. He found positive in just about everything and everyone. Joe and Dora's love spread to everyone around them their gift of giving and caring was foremost to all around them. Some night while standing outside gazing at the evening sky we'll find a blinking star and know it's Papa Joe winking back at us telling us he's okay now and he misses us too.
Your loss is felt by many . May your happy memories bring a smile to your face when you need it the most. There is no doubt Joe's family was his #1 possession.
Linda , Pete and Agnes Ciolfi
