Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I knew Joe Martinelli as Grampa Joe. My daughter Cailtin and his grandson Jason were long time childhood friends, they eventually married. Caitlin always spoke fondly of the times she spent on the ranch with Grampa Joe. He then became my grandchildren's Great Grampa Joe. I echo the sentiments' of those that have spoken to his kind, gentle nature.
we are all blessed to have had such a man among us.
Rest in peaceful beauty Grampa Joe.

My condolences to the Martinelli family at this most sacred time.

I am reminded of the saying "still waters run deep". Joe Sr. was one of the kindest, dedicated, most humble men I have ever met.
I am grateful for the time spent with him.

Rest peacefully, Joe, and take comfort knowing you left a beautiful legacy.
