Joseph William Perrotta Jr.

Captain Perrotta gave me the opportunity to serve in the best sea billet of my navy career- Navigator, USS Stump. Thank you sir and fair winds and following seas shipmate.

To the Perrotta family, my most heartfelt condolences on your loss. I knew Joe when we were kids in Ely Village. I considered him and Sandy family. She and I remained friends until she passed away. I will tell the rest of the bunch of Joe's passing and I can safely tell you they all send their condolences. Mrs. Perrotta (Joe's mom) always allowed the bunch of into their home to just hang out. It was a great part of my early teen years.

Dear Theresa & family , Thinking of you wishing you healing that touches both body & spirit...Peace in those moments when you need it most...And strength to sustain you day by day .

Theresa and family, the Scott clan is just heartbroken. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Heartfelt condolences to all of our family that we've lost such a great man. Uncle Joe you we're always a great example of what a man should be. I never once saw you lose your temper or speak ill of anyone. You always put family first and you raised a beautiful family. My Buster, whom you threatened to steal many times, also sends his love; and Jim, your tech buddy is also saddened much by your passing. I know you were greeted by Grandpep, Grandma and my mom. I'm so sorry you had to leave...

Theresa,
Thank you for allowing Moe and me to share these past two days with you and your lovely family. We have 39 years of memories to cherish and a future to hold them dear. We love you guys. Don and Moe

My sincere condolences to the entire Perrotta family. I served under Captain Perrotta on the USS Normandy as part of the commissioning crew. He took us through Desert Storm and more. It's true that Joe was a stringent taskmaster, but I can't think of a better skipper to follow if one must go into harm's way. Rest easy, Sir.
