While i think about my father daily, i pause to remember and honor him on several days a year. I remember the last time I saw my Dad before he passed. I can still see him looking in my eyes and holding my hand. I miss him every day. I see him daily every time I look into the mirror now. I know here was present to greet mother when she passed and I also have that last moment of time with her holding both of them in my heart and mind. One could not wish or ask for more loving parents. Their sacrifices for us and guidance by example of faith let me know that I will see them again. Dad you were and are my hero showing me what a father should be and what it means to be a true man. Please continue to pray for us all till one day we will be together in our Fathers Kingdom united for eternity with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and who believed and are rewarded with eternal life in Heaven. Your loving son.

To my loving father. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. So often I see you in my own reflection in a mirror. A song, a picture, a movie, when see the mailman...haha. Or when I hear someone playing a piano! I hold onto the last time I stood by your side and held your hand and I can still see you looking at me. My father who showed me what it means to be a man and a father. I look forward to a day when I see you again. Please continue to watch over you earthly family. Suppose you and your brothers can have a foursome at Pinochle. Ever in my heart your loving son Joe.

Love always Joe Jr.

Not a day goes by where I don't stop to remember the wonderful man my father was to his family and friends. Grounded in faith and loving of life. Natural talent to play piano without ever having any formal training. He loved to sing, cook and play every piano he came near no matter where it was or who owned it. But most of all he loved his family. I see him now every day when I look in the mirror. I pray that he keeps watch over us from heaven. My hero the man we nicked named Ralph because in some ways he reminded us of Jackie Gleason's character on the Honeymooners. I love and miss you my Dad. Till the day we are once again together, keep playing music, cards and singing. Thank you for always being there even now in my heart to help guide me. May the grace of Our Lord be with you.
Your son Joe

My wonderful father and hero. Again we approach the anniversary of you leaving us here on earth and heading to be with our beloved Lord and Mary, Joseph and all the angels and saints. You are always in my thoughts and I miss you daily. I still vividly remember standing by your side and the words we exchanged. I am still holding hands with you in my heart. Please continue to watch over your family till we are again joined in the beauty of heaven. I love you Dad, father (Ralph)
Your loving son

Dear Maryann and family.

I am saddened to hear of your dad's passing. He was blessed to have had a wonderful family and lots of love in his life. I've learned that time is a wonderful balm but memories are what sustain us. He has passed on to eternal life and peace. God Bless you all.

Words can't begin to express all the pain we are feeling for the loss of our dear Joe. As a Merrytone he loved to entertain and brought such joy and laughter to everyone he touched with his beautiful piano music and melodious voice. He had a passion for everything he did and a real zest for life that was contagious. We will truly miss him, but his memories with the Merrytones will live on in our hearts forever. My dear Marie, our deepest Sympathy to you and your Family. May God Bless you and your loving Family in your time of sorrow.

Of my father I can say many things...he was a man of faith, Patriotism, and Love for his wife and family. A true example of how to live and enjoy life. My true hero. I will live to honor him always.
