Not sure what to say?

I always appreciated Joe´s demeanor with the kids at BD. He was such a great champion for the students. May he be in the arms of the angels Todd & Mary Briscoe

DiFilippo family: So sorry for your loss. I have wonderful memories of Joe. I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the DiFilippo family. I only knew Joe for a few yrs back in the days from Rugby. He was a super fun guy and was always so sweet to me. Prayers for his family and friends.

My sympathy to Joe's family. I have fond memories of walking home from St. Jude's with him and a few other kids. I recall once as we were parting ways he announced that he had a joke to tell. He asked, "Why did the man throw the clock out the window?" Answer: "To see how time flies" Apparently it really made an impression on me that I remember this 63 years later! I think it was the teller of the joke. I'll always remember Joe as a sweet, happy-go-lucky guy. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear this. My dad (Larry Shuman) was friendly to your family and I worked with John with Scott's back a few decades. Prayers to the family during your time of loss.

RIP, Joe. Did not know Joe personally, but the older Italian DiFilippo & Simone families were friends years ago. Virginia Simone Wyman CCHS class of 1955.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Connie, you and the family are in my prayers. Please reach out if you need anything.
