Not sure what to say?

Great loss for all of us. We are proud of his work and legacy, most of all proud to be Albanian. Condolences to the family

Happy Father's Day Dad, remembering you.

I enjoyed Joe as a UNH Marine Docent, parent of Cathy, husband to Pat, and friend of gardens.

We are sorry for the family and friends of Joe. We knew him from the Dover Indoor Pool where he often swam years ago.

Dear Dad,
You are missed. You always greeted me with a smile and a compliment. You listened and remembered. This past year you allowed me to love and care for you. You always wanted the best for us and made me feel like I was doing a good job as a mom. Thank you Dad, you are missed.
Love Always, Cathy

Listening to Frank Sinatra, itching to get out and dig in my garden and thinking of my Dad. Appreciate all the wonderful and amazing things that he was.

When I think of Joe, I think of laughter and good food. One strong memory is a trip our family took to Janesville for Joe's homemade spinach pasta, tossed with parmesan, olive oil and garlic. Sooo much garlic.It turned me into a foodie, and I will remember him for that.

Joe Schiro was a fine man full of good humor and encouragement.We were all better for knowing him . We shared many fun times , many with our children,in Racine, Dover, Janesville,Tops and Ogunquit beaches, Camp Anokijig, and Sun City West .Our boys still speak fondly of Joe and his thoughtful insights Joe will be missed by many. We extend our condolences and love, Howard and Joan

We send our love and gratitude for Joe's friendship over 54 years to all the family. He will live on in our hearts.
