Joseph N. "J.J." Linsalata

He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

I was shocked and saddened when one of my sisters told me of JJ’s passing.
Joe, as we knew him then, was a great friend of my family’s when he was at Malvern and Villanova. He was a charming, kind, multitalented young man.
He was so passionate about life, always ready to take on something new, and do it whole-heartedly.
He had the combination of being very grounded, a great athlete, and also a sensitive artist. He was a talented photographer, creating artistic photos in...

We were classmates at Malvern and Villanova. I'm happy I recorded his football achievements in "Quarterback Sneak" out weekly high school football newspaper. RIP.

Peter:

My deepest sympathies for the passing of Joe. I always think fondly of my visit to your 99 and Riverside apt. in the early 80's with Lilian and Richie.

Joey and you took us sailing and we stayed over night around Oyster Bay. I remember Joey grilling steaks off the back of the boat.

May fond memories provide solace to you and your Family during this time.

I met JJ on the film "Nothing to Lose" he was the 2nd A.D. He was a great person funny/ happy/ and very kind he will truly be missed, our prayers go out to his family.

Dear Peter and Joe,
What can I say; JJ was a dear friend, a kind heart, a professional to his core and,(even as a young man)a wise old sole. He cared for all, even with those that did not care back. He was a gift to us.
I miss my friend and my co-worker, and I know many others will. A few weeks back JJ and I spoke briefly. Our plan was to get together after his exit from his last stay in the hospital. I regret we were not able to break bread one last time.
“Babylon 5”,...

A wonderful man who knew how to get things done (as a producer/director/community leader). A multi-talented, thoughtful warm and just a great guy to be around and work with. I was privileged to have known and worked with him for the last 10 or so years, seeing his passion for life, his family and the community. All of us associated with the Teen Video Festival will deeply miss his humor, his professionalism and his compassion.

Peter, Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

R.I.P Uncle Joe
