Oh how I miss you my dear brother. I miss your jokes, texts and most of you seeing and talking to you. You were taken way too soon, we were supposed to grow old together. God obviously needed you, he only takes the best. Love and miss you. Love your little sister Debbie

The girls miss their Poppies. xoxo Until we...

Knew Joe from NYPD shop 5, all I can say is he was a hard worker and a gentleman, RIP Joe and condolences to his family , gone too soon .....

I would like to extend my prayers and condolences to the Abate family. I was privileged to have known Joe while he worked for the NYPD. I had more that a few laughs with him. A good man who adored his family. God Bless

To my big brother, there has never been a day I didn’t have you in my life, to protect, to guide me and to lend a hand when I needed it the most. You were someone that I looked up to and admired, and Loved dearly. You are gone from earth but you will never be forgotten. Thank you being being a wonderful brother and Uncle to my boys. I will cherish every memory I have of you today and always. Love you, Your Sister Debbie RIP
