Tavilla's we love you all!

My wonderful Uncle Joe,
You were my dad's best friend, partner in work and ministry. You were a spiritual giant, and yet such a gentle giant. My most vivid memory of you is at the side of a hospital bed. Actually, dozens and dozens of them. You were *always* there! You (and you, Auntie Pauline) were so incredibly faithful, always the first ones to show up at a bedside to pray. You came, you prayed, you left. No drama, just prayer, faith, love. Consistently, always, year in and year...

Joe was a true Christian and will be missed but will have his place in Heaven.
My many memories of Joe are precious and I am blessed to have had him in my life.
My thoughts and prayers to Pauline, Karen, Melissa and Joe.

we talked about uncle joe all week end and shared memories and my mom told stories...when I think of uncle joe I think of a very loving and kind man and very SENSITIVE...loved his family and grand children and was a "wonderful example" of walking the christian walk...i always knew where he stood. glad to know he's in heaven but sad to know he's gone from us...love to you a. pauline, karen, debbie, joey,melissa, and families.

Our hearts are saddened, our world emptier. What a man was Joe!consistent and joyful Christian, marked by generosity, humility, and kindness,devoted to and deeply loved by Pauline, children, grandchildren, and all of us who knew him. He modeled Jesus Christ in his life; he now and ever is rejoicing in His presence. Hope in Christ blends our tears with joy. God bless you all. With our love,
Arnold, Ruth, and Torrey

So many losses for the Tavilla family in the last 18 months! We celebrate Joe's life, faith, and now eternal reward, but we pray for Pauline & family as the joyful assurance of Heaven is mixed with the reality of loss.

I Maria Lanza send my sympathy to the
Tailla family. God bless. My home phone is 781-545=2322.

Joe, you have been a blessing to your family and many others with your firm commitments and loving relationships. Now the Lord is providing you the eternal blessing with Him. We miss you....another Tavilla we dearly love.

Joe Tavilla was an asute and dedicated family man, like
the rest of his brothers. He will be surely missed by all who him.
