Dear Family and Friends,
Losing Joe and Connie Marino, our beloved Dad, Mom, and Grandparents, within the same year is devastating for us to bear.

We thank you for your support during our time of bereavement. We all miss them immensely, but fortunately, we have a lifetime of wonderful memories to make us smile and give comfort during this most difficult period.

In Love and Peace,
Joey, Dolores, Nick, Dana, Jon and Maria

Good Friends,
At times, people enter our lives and for some reason have a greater impact on us than others. Joe was one of these people. This special man had a kindness toward people and a contagious childlike excitment for life. Simply put, he was fun to be around, and he always made us feel welcome. Joe was everyone's Grandpop. He is sorely missed.

Without You

With a wink of your eye the world can change

Inner feelings becoming heavier as each moment progresses

The thoughts in your head swirling about as if they have no way out

Hours passing by and you still can’t get past the thought of why

Overbearing tension

Ulterior feelings
That you cannot express

Yearning for something more
Offset by a fake smile

Until that moment comes when you can hold back no...

I miss you grandpop. Don't want to go on in life without you and grandma.

<3 u always. Give Grandma a kiss for me.

Sincerly,
heartbroken on earth

Dear Dolores:

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. He was such a nice man. You have certainly had your share of sorrow. My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

My prayers and sympathy to all of the family. I had the privilege of meeting Joe once at a family gathering. He and my father, Peter DiCioccio grew up together and had some nice memories. I am sure they are reunited as friends in a much better place. May God continue to bless each of the family members.

My deepest sympathy to you, Dolores. May our heavenly Father's love comfort you in your grief and bring peace to you and your family. I'll always remember Uncle Joe's smile and laughter. A beautiful, happy man who will live on in our memories of him.

Dolores, Nick & Dana, We are so sorry for your loss. Joe was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.
