We miss you Papa Joe!!!

What a beautiful legacy "Papa Joe" leaves through his family.

Papa Joe will live in the hearts of so many people. He will be missed.

We met Papa Joe on a vacation trip and were impressed by his always cheerful disposition and the special ever-present twinkle in his eyes. May he rest in peace. Maria & Julius Dolesch

Thank you Mr. Riccio for all the delicious ravioli you made on earth. I am sure now all the Saints in heaven are enjoying your special treats.

I think Lydia, Joe, Jim & Eddie were so lucky to have the love of a dad like "Papa Joe". I think he must have been among the greatest of men to have helped raise an outstanding family that loved him so very much. I am glad he is at peace and know his family and friends have many wonderful memories to remember with smiles and laughter.

Papa Joe was a such a treat when he came to the Motherhouse. He was such a faith-filled, loving and caring man, always considerate to others. We will miss him. Know of our prayer and that we will include him in our Eucharistic Celebrations. Your Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose

Thanks, Dad, for all the years of love and for being such a great role model for me. Mina and I sure miss the many Monday night dinners you shared with us and Maggie keeps looking at the door as if "Grandpa" will walk in at any time. Our comfort comes from the fact that you are now at peace. The Lord has called you to Him ... please watch over us all.

My life has been blessed by meeting Papa Joe. My condolences to Lydia and family. In support and friendship.
