My deepest condolences to the Marotta Family.....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

dear dorie and family,
so sad to hear this news, please accept my love and prayers, so many memories..

Dorothy and family,
Joe was my friend and my mentor. He helped instill certain values in me. He taught the importance of enjoying life and to always travel around the world. He would always say to me "You're gonna miss me", when I left Walgreens. I did miss him and I will always miss him. He was known by many and those who knew him, loved him.

Dear Melissa and Allyson,
It is never easy to lose a loved one, especially someone as wonderful as your Pop-Pop. Your are very lucky, even though you may not think so right now, because you have so many wonderful memories of the special times you shared with him. It will be your job, along with Chris and Kaitlyn to make sure your younger cousins know how special your Pop-Pop was. By doing that he will always be with you. We love you all and you are in our thoughts and prayers at this...

Paul, Andrew and family,
I am so, so sorry about your dad. I can still remember spending weekends at your house with Denise and our times at Lakewood with the Marotta/Bollinger families. Words are not enough to describe what a great man your dad was and his influence on the lives of so many people. I truly hope your family finds the comfort you need in knowing what a terrific person he was and how lucky we all were to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. ...

Dorothy, Andrew and the Marotta family, we were blessed to have known Joe. We were always amazed by his activity and his dedication to his daily physical exercise. He made it same like "no big deal"; yet, we knew it was! He was an inspiration. You should be so proud of him and the impact he had on this community. Please accept our sincere sympathy.

Andrew and Family, No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you and your family as you grieve.

So sorry for your loss. My dad and uncle owned Nanette's Luncheonette on the opposite corner from Joe's pharmacy. My family and I remember Joe fondly. He was a wonderful guy.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand Joe.

With love,
The SantaCroce Family
