Not sure what to say?

I´m so very sad to learn (belatedly) of this news. Beginning in the 1980s, Joe and I became good academic friends and colleagues. We co-edited a pathbreaking political theory text, shared lots of conversations, several baseball games, and numerous meals while attending conferences. One particularly memorable conference was in San Francisco, where we walked the city, saw the sights, and savored a marvelous Italian meal. Rest in Power, my friend.

Grew up with Joe in Yeadon he was smart then and he turned out to be he turned out to be a geniu

My wife Barbara and I will forever cherish hundreds of joyous, happy, blessed and life affirming times with Joe, wife Marcia and son Michael over more than forty years. God be with the Losco family---always and everywhere. Peace and Love be with each of you.

Ahhh, Joe, it's tough to write this. I've been putting it off, perhaps thinking it wasn't real, that you have left us. We had some great times, lots of funny times and hundres of memories. You were the smartest among us in Yeadon. You and your paents and sister were like having another family. I will never forget your Grandmother, especially when I called and you weren't home. She always said, "No casa, Giuseppe." It was fun growing up with you. We were going to write screen plays, but...

Hey Joey.....I´ll miss you. You made me laugh and you called me Katie. You were the sender of Groundhog Day cards and a birthday card from you was always the first one that I´d receive. My sympathy to Marcia,Michael,Ashley and to all of Joe´s family.

I was blessed to grow up with Joe. He always strived to do the right thing in the right way. He was smarter than the rest of us, but was always down to earth and available. He will be missed, but not forgotten. Thanks for all the good times. RIP Joe.

I was sorry to learn of the passing of Professor Losco. He was great professor, true gentlemen and fine mentor whose laugh and wit will be missed. To his family who loved him most, wishing you whatever soothes your spirit, comforts your soul, and brings you peace as this sad time.

Having Joe as a friend was one of life's greatest privileges. He was a person we could share our life with. He not only listened; he cared. We will miss his hearty laugh and his vibrant smile. We send our love to Marcia, Michael and Ashley.

Joe and I have been friends for over 60 years. He was my best man when I married. Our families shared many Thanksgivings in Muncie and trips together. He took great interest in his family and mine. He was always supportive and helpful. Laughter was the cornerstone of our friendship. Joe will be missed by all the people he touched in teaching, friendship, and family. He will always be my best friend and I will miss him. My love to Marcia, Michael, Ashley, and Antoinette
