To Joe's family and especially his sister Lina, This is sad news of a great and very smart guy. I was so lucky to share four years of homeroom and Regents classes with Joe. He had a quiet confidence, a love of learning and participating , and always was ready to share a smile or eye-rolling! Many peers adored Joe and he and Royan were "the couple" we all wanted to be. I was happy to read of all they accomplished together and send my sincere sympathy to you all. Diane Hanley Reilly

I’m so sorry to hear about Uncle Joe’s passing. Uncle joe was an inspiration. He was so kind and generous. I have so many memories of visiting him and Aunt Royan in New Hartford and Maryland. I will also cherish the memories of our conversations, going out to dinner and drinking espresso. He will be missed.

It has been so hard to express how truly sad we are to hear of Uncle Joe's passing. I have so many fond memories from childhood spending time with him in Rome or in New Hartford over the summer months or on holidays with the entire family there❤ Seeing him and Aunt Royan at christenings was a treat as time went onPlease know that Mom, Anna, is heartbroken over losing her "baby" brother, as she calls him. Our warmest thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Royan, JoJo & Michael and families...
