Joseph J. DiBella Sr.

Mr. DiBella was a sport. I used to visit him every Wednesday on my delivery days when in Milltown. I will miss his jokes and our weekly handshake. With love, Lucky.

Mr. DiBella was a kind and gentle man. Although I referred to by as "Uncle D", he was so much more to me than an uncle. I had such fun being a caretaker for him the past 2 years and I will miss him dearly. All the fights and jokes we used to do, I will truely cherish. From your Puddin Tang, I love u Uncle D.

My deepest sympathy to Joe's family. Taught with Joe for many years at Hoover J.H.S. & Stevens. He will be missed.

Joe was a great guy. I taught at Herbert Hoover for many years with Joe. He was a really funny guy. We had a great time in those years at Hoover. People like Joe made Hoover such a great place. He was my boss for the few years I taught English before going strictly to Social Studies. He also taught my wife when she attended John Adams Junior High School. We will both miss Joe.

Mr DiBella was a nice guy. Although I didn't know him for a long period of time, he was always kind and had something funny to say.

Joe was a colleague of mine at Herbert Hoover Junior High School. I have many fond memories of him . He was one of the guiding lights which contributed to the comraderie which existed in the beginning stages of that school. He kept things light and lively and in their proper perspective. I miss the atmosphere which existed at the school. He contributed to the human race in a meaningful manner.

Johnnie: I have many good memories as a child of your parents and your brother, Joe. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
