Not sure what to say?

Aunt Jeanette, Angelo, Michael, Irene, Linda, Angela and Mark, Albert and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.We were so sorry to hear about Joey. I remember all the fun times we all had together throughout the years. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Our sympathy to Joe's family - he loved you all very much. There will never be another Joe Risso, a true gentleman and friend.

Our thoughts & prayers are with the family in this time of sadness.

You were one of a kind Gentleman.My most lasting memory of you will be your worn,rugged, full of character 'COWBOY HAT.' It is a signature mark no one else can hold up to.I'am happy to have been called your friend.
My sympathy to the family

As a relative of Joey growing up, I remember taking trips from Stockton to the Ranch in Linden on weekends to see him and his family. Joey was cool...and a drummer, two things I was pretty impressed with. I had a copy of his 45: The Elevator Dance, which I played over and over. He was my inspiration for becomming a drummer myself and I still play to this day. He gave me my first snare drum and sticks. I owe a lot to him in many ways. During this very difficult time, I wanted you to know...

I am going to miss Joe so much!
He had so many interesting stories to tell. My most memorible story was about a little bird that fell in a vat of oil. It was such a sad story. As he told it to me, we both teared up. When I would take my Grandkids to Pixie Woods, I would always bring Joe some pink popcorn. He was a very kind man, and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. My thoughts are with Linda, Angela, Mark and family.

We will all miss him. He had some of the silliest jokes that just make you laugh thinking about them and that is how i will remember him

We were so sad to hear of your loss. Joe always greeted everyone with a smile and hello. May you all be comforted with your happy memories of him. Our thoughts and prays are with the family. Gerry & Dottie

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
