Joseph C. LoBalbo

My condolences. I had the privilege to play with Joe several times over the years. All great memories.

To Chot and Jeff, I'm saddened and sorry to read of your brother's/uncle's passing. I'm sure he's ready to hit the high C's in heaven. RIP.

Joe and I played many gigs together and shared many stories. I have fond memories of him. May he play some happy tunes up in paradise for God. He was great.

Hello, I was very saddened to hear of Joe's passing. As a young kid playing in my dad's band, Joe was one of my first influences. He, along with Rick Wasilick, Bob Moser, Fred Ruth and a few others were the trumpet players I initially learned from. They welcomed me into the section and were very kind to me. Joe knew my dad for many years having played with him in the Charlie Porello Band as well as my dads own bands from the late 60's on. Joe had incredible range and played all over...

Dear Chut and family. I'm so sorry to hear about Joe. I feel blessed knowing and having him as a friend and role model. We all will greatly miss him. God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Ray.

Rest in peace to a dear classmate from the Phillipsburg Parochial HS Class of 1961. Fond memories of Joe playing the trumpet during lunch recess, the marching band and orchestra. He will be dearly missed.
