Joe brought such joy to the folks at the Silvermont congregate meal site. They loved for him to come and play. He always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye. Praying for his family.

Very deeply saddened upon hearing of his passing. As a coworker and later an understanding dear friend, he was always caring, nurturing, supportive and encouraging at times when I needed it most.

Hey Joe, I pray in my heart that you are at peace, reunited with Sue & all of your passed loved ones. Perhaps you are playing beautiful piano or eating pasta with my brother Tony -
You were a man with many different sides to you, but I will always remember your beautiful music, often singing alongside as you played.

May you keep on playing those great tunes & bring smiles to all who are with...

My Cousin Joey, was always a jokester who kept you in stitches or would scare the living heck out of you!!! As a youngster, I remember one time, my family and I went to visit my Grandma Fazio and Aunt Rose. Since, no one answered the door, we walked in and when my Dad turned on the kitchen light, you´d never guess who was sitting in the dark awaiting for someone to turn on the light!!! Over the years, I noticed that his facial expressions would give him away. So, you would know that he was up...
