Not sure what to say?

My son worked with Joey for many years and always spoke highly of the Rillo family. Whenever I came into the resturant for dinner, Joey never missed an opportunity to come into the dining area and say hello.

My prayers are with the Rillo family. Joey will be missed. He leaves behind many who love him and his family. God Bless

Lisa and Dominic,
We are so sorry about Joey's passing and we know how much you both meant to him. I will never forget the way he would look at you Lisa, as a man that was TRULY in love with his wife.
We take comfort in knowing that he has finally found the peace that heaven has to offer and has now seen our marvelous God face to face.
Your family has meant so much to ours over the years and please know that if we can ever do anything for you, we are just a phone call away....

Lisa & the Rillo Family
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you during this time. We truly consider it a blessing to have known Joey. Tom & I enjoyed talking with Nick, Brinley, Manny and many other "Rillo's" during the past weeks ....talking about Joey, the love you shared together ...and I can't tell you how many times they called you an "Angel" Lisa!! Your strength, faith and courage are so amazing....I have learned much from working with you these past years but even more...

To the Rillo Family,

On behalf of my late mother, Carol Murphy (whom was a waitress at Rillo's in Carlisle for many years during the 70's and 80's). Also, on behalf of my brother Glenn Murphy and sister Susan Murphy Greving, who both were also employeed by the Rillo's. We wish to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire Rillo family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as well as with Joey. May he rest in the Lord's peace.

I was truly sorry to hear about Joey. Our family grew up with the Rillo family. They fed my sister Sandy & brother John all the time. Whenever they were not home & should have been, we knew where to go to get them.

Lisa, my prayer & thoughts are with you & your family. I haven't seen or spoke with you since the yellow page days. I am truly sorry for your loss. Please let Michelle know I am thinking of her & the rest of the family.

I am thankful that my Mom was able to attend the funeral, along with some of Joey's cousins, my siblings, Anthony and Debbie. I regret not seeing Joey before he died, but Mom's report was comforting to me, that Joey had professed his faith in Christ and was at peace with God.
I gratefully recall the summertime visits when a bunch of us kids would stay with the Rillos for weeks on end, enjoying the hospitality of Uncle Joe and Aunt Manny.

I only recently learned of your loss; At a difficult time, our heartfelt condolences; if there is anything to sustain us in the loss which we share, perhaps it is the faith that the values embodied in his service to the Carlisle community & the Washington REDSKINS will endure.

With sadness. The Werdebach family.

Dear Michelle & to the entire Rillo Family:

I just found out last evening of Joey's passing, and I wanted to let you know I have you, and your entire family in my prayers. There are a lot of memories in my heart/head growing up in the 'neighborhood. ' Ironically this week looking down from Interstate 81, I was reminded of all the times sledding & horseback riding and my thoughts went to Joey. I will always appreciate when he gave me a job, after losing my IBM job.

Keep...
