My father & I were big boxing fans back in the 50's and I remember Joe very well. He was always a family favorite and we unanimously cheered him on from our living room TV. He gave us many exciting moments back then and I will remember him fondly. His tenacity set an example to a skinny 14 year old kid from East Meadow. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

To the Miceli Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my Uncle Joe. He was my
hero. I have a picture of him in his boxing pose on my desk. There are so many stories that I remember. His card games, tricks and jokes will always be part of my memories.
Rest in peace Uncle Joe.

To the Miceli family.
I'm sorry about your loss.
I'm 70 and was a big boxing fan in the early 50s. I saw your father many times.
I met Joe & Mrs. Miceli at the funeral service for Kid Gavilan about 3 years ago in south Florida. Ron Ross introduced me.
He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. When I was growing up with his son Joe he was like another dad to me. He would always make me laugh. I'll always remember playing cards with him at the house and how he treated me growing up. My heart goes out to Catherine, Joe jr. and Anthony.

To the Miceli family,
My sincere condolences...
I have many fond memories of "Uncle Joe" growing up. I remember the card tricks and the magic tricks. And, of course, the few boxing moves that Uncle Joe taught me paid many dividends when I needed it...
But, most of all I remember the jest for life that Uncle Joe had. I'm sure that anyone who was friends with or related to Uncle Joe had similar memories and experiences.
Uncle Joe - May you rest in peace....
