He brought much happiness to us and we miss his e-mails and telephone calls. His blessed memory will remain with us for a lifetime. We will neever forget his visit with his son at our home.

Dear Jackie and Family ~ I was so sad to see that Mr. Colasuonno had passed. And at the same time sort of uplifted that it happened near Memorial Day ~ how fitting and how beautiful. He had a wonderful life with wonderful family surrounding him. Please accept my sincere condolences to you all.

Dear Jackie, Jim, Dennis, and Family,

Joe was a wonderful man! I can remember every time that I have seen him ever since he came to visit our parents, George and Marie Colasuonno, in Tacoma when I was about 17-years-old. Joe was charismatic! He had a self-assuredness about him, a warmth, was a great listener, a wonderful host, and a wise man. When I think of Joe I will always remember his love of family and his dedication and courage in protecting our country. He was a great...

Dear Colasuonno family your father was a great American and my brother and I were honored to know him. My father who served with your dad in the Air Force in England always enjoyed you’re parents company, and with your fathers passing its the end of an era. I had a wonderful lunch with your parents when they visited San Diego and it was clear that your Mom was also a very special lady. Your father had a truly remarkable career as an officer and aviator which he chronicled in his well...

Dear Jacki & Jimmy,
Over the past few days we girls have shared our Uncle Joe and Aunt Linda memories - and it always comes back to one thing - just being together as little children -exp. sharing in our family ties and love at Christmas. We all were very blessed that's for sure. I will miss him, as I do Aunt Linda, and Aunt Beverly and Mom and Dad. now we must keep in contact -
I'm not sure who we will pass the spaghetti torch to - but Barbie puts a mean handle on it.

Dear Jackie, Jim, and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Cousin Joe's death. I didn't know much about him until recent years, when he asked me to help him get his memoirs in shape. That project gave me a wonderful chance to learn about our shared family history as well as his fascinating role in World War II and Korean War military history. How poignant that he should die just before Memorial Day. Our e-mail correspondence was special to me. He was a generous, gregarious person who loved...
