My name is Aaron Greatorex.I am from Adelaide in Australia.I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Joe's family.I only knew Joe for a short time and spent a short amount of time with him on 2 seperate trips to Bridgeton.I found Joe to be a very friendly and generous man.He welcomed me into the Rosenhyn gun club for the hunting week of 2005 and also welcomed me into his home.Joe was a very respected man in not only the Rosenhyn gun club but also the community of Rosenhyn and Upper...

Martorana Family,

Joey was very special and loved by so many people. He will be greatly missed. May the love of family and friends comfort and strengthen you in the days ahead. Our deepest sympathy.

Annie & The Martorana Family,

How shocked & saddened I was to hear about Joe when my daughter, Tara, contacted me with the news. I remeber Joey as this cute, smiley faced kid and that's how I picture him today. When I would spend the night at your house, your Mom & Dad had a special way of making me feel like family too. Great memories.

Annie, my dear, dear friend, I can't put into words how I feel at this time. You know you will always have my love & support. Joe was taken...

God bless your family in this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. What a great man taken much too early. God bless. Love, Eddie and KeLea Exel.

We both graduated with Joey BHS Class of 1970. He was a great guy and will be remembered very fondly.
Although we haven't seen him in many years he sounds like he was still the same sweet Joey we remember!

Our sincere condolences to his family.

My heart goes out to Joey's loved ones. I'm deeply saddened for your loss. I will always remember him fondly.

Annie, Theresa, Lucille, Rita, Nicky and Mary

Wasn't it only yesterday that we all hung out at the Dairy Bar? Sometimes we even got paid for it! Theresa would load us all into the old Pontiac, wave goodbye to Nick and Lucy, little Nicky and Mary, and all us teens would go off and have the times of our lives. The first communions, the graduations, the weddings, the newborns, and yes, the terribly sad times such as this all marked our passage in this world. Our God has blessed us all...

To Annie, Theresa, Lucille, Rita, Nicky, Mary and your families,

We thank you all so much for including us in so many good times through all these years. Joey and his great big smile, his gentle character and that warm personality he inherited from your Dad ... these were the kinds of things that have made your family so special, and such a special part of our lives. Please know that our hearts are heavy and that while the miles may separate us, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family and loved ones of Joe at this time. Difficult to accept such a sudden tragic loss. I recall Joe as a classmate from the great class of 1970 at BHS and some mutual acquaintances subsequently. I wish you all the best in our Lord's gradual healing from this loss and may he rest in peace and God's light shine upon him forever.
