Not sure what to say?

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news about Joe's passing through the note to Matton Security customers. I always enjoyed chatting with Joe when he came to help me out with my alarm system. He had a warm, kind, generous spirit. He was the kind of person that went out of his way to help out, but acted like it was no trouble at all. Wishing your entire family strength and comfort during this very sad time.

I am so sad to hear about Joe's passing. He was one of my favorite regulars at Capellini's. I was always so happy when him and Carol walked through the door to surprise me! I am really going to miss him! My sincere condolences to Carol and the rest of his family❤

So very sorry for your loss . I only met with Joe two times when I was getting ready to move into Pat's place in Methuen. He was without a doubt one of the kindest and sincerest person I have had the privilege to meet. So sad to lose 2 family members in such a short time.

With kindest regards,
Deborah Roberto McDonald






Thank you to Matton Security for the note and beautiful photo of Joe. I am so sorry to hear the news! Joe installed the alarm system in my Melrose home back in 2003 and in my Quincy home in 2012. He was always willing to take a trip to the South Shore to help me out! I loved having an excuse to chat with him on the phone and in fact just spoke to him a couple of months ago. He cared deeply for his family and was proud of his business. I will remain a loyal customer in his honor! My heartfelt...

A great guy who always a happy go lucky attitude

Mr. Salemme,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for the citizens of Somerville when you served with the SFD. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Jeff, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad.. We lost Mr. D. in October and I know the grief. Hope you are doing well and don't let your memories go...

Sending our deepest condolences to the entire Salemme family. Joe was an awesome guy. So many fun hockey memories when our boys were growing up in Melrose. Kathy and Ron DelRossi
