Joseph N. Meola Sr.

So sorry. I was fortunate to work with Joe for 30 years. He was a pillar to lean on and a great guy. My condolences to Linda and family.

I met Joe at swim classes at the Y. While I was quite obviously the novice, Joe was an excellent swimmer and swam the length of the pool back and forth so effortlessly. I would often tell him one day Im gonna swim like you. He would tell me to just take my time and practice. Good advice. Joe and I talked about everything from A to Z and in these talks I realized an inherent goodness in him. I will certainly miss his goodness. Rest peacefully, Joe. ( My sincere condolences to the family. So...

To the family of Joe. I remember Joe, Julia and their parents from long ago when families spent time in a community house in Long Branch, NJ.
Each family had their own bedroom and share one of three bathrooms on the floor. There was a huge kitchen with tables small pantries, stoves and refridgerators. Those are days that will stay with us as long as we live.
I later met Joe as a teacher with the Newark Public Schools. As I was a teacher and met him at one meeting or another.

It was my fortune to work with Joe at the Academy of Vocational Careers (Montgomery Academy). Joe was outstanding as a teacher and as a person.
My condolences to Joe's wife, Linda, and to Joe's family.

our legacy, the terrific people that honor your memory, and the noble choices you have made and dignity in which you lived have made this world a better place. You live through the people who love you.
Godspeed Joe
