Joseph A. Fortino

God bless you Joe. You were my first love & I´ll never forget you. You were so very special to me. You were part of my never ending fun loving days & nights. You were my first, you will always be so very special to me. I love you forever Joe!

To the Fortino family, it's been years since Joe left. He was my coworker, friend, and brother. We had a special bond while working at Corestates/PNB. He Rich & myself portrayed the cast of Miami Vice Joe (Lt Costillo) Rich (Sonny Crockett) Myself (Ricardo Tubbs). I carry the nickname (Rico) given to me by Joe & Rich to this very day. I will never forget you my friend and being a part of your family. God Bless you all.

Rich and Family,
My God give you the Grace to comprehend this shock and enormous loss in your family.
Your friend,

It's taken me 2 weeks to digest this and I'm still not right. Joey, my co-worker, my friend, my teamate, my coach, my brother, our friendship was one of the great ones. On my worst day you could make me laugh, I celebrated your life and our friendship with stories of days gone past and raised my glass to your memory. I will miss you. I will mourn your loss forever and celebrate your life through stories of yesterday. Save me & Deny a spot at the happy hour bar my friend. God bless the Raider...

To the family of Joe Fortino,

I met Joe through a close friend of ours, Tom Harrigan..and I was so sad and shocked to hear about his passing. He made us all laugh and he will ALWAYS be remembered!!

God Bless and be with you all,
Colleen...(Philadelphia, PA)

As Kenia said, everyone who worked with Joe at MRS from '05-'07 is saddened by the news. He was a true original, and two things mattered to him above everything else - his family & his neighborhood.

To the parents of his little actress niece - If you could have seen how proud he was, making all of us read the reviews of her success in "Annie", you would have had further proof that he was "World's Best Uncle".

My condolences to his family & friends. Next time I park at the Turf...

JOE WAS A GREAT CO-WORKER. HE MADE US LAUGH AND WE SAD TO SEE HIM LEAVE HER COMPANY AND EVEN SADDER TO SEE HIM LEAVE THIS EARTH . OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THE BEREAVING FAMILY.
