Not sure what to say?

Davita, so sorry for your loss. I just was looking in the obituaries in the Dispatch and just learned about it. Didn’t even know that you had moved to Texas. Again sorry for your loss. I didn’t know him very well but we would say hi when we saw each other.

Joe was always a sweet soul. I pray that he is with my dad in heavenly bliss. Love you Tiffany and Davita

Joe was always so friendly; never without that smile. We had not seen each other in many years (I moved away) but he always remembered me. He surely will be missed. R.I.P. Joe.


My deepest heartfelt sympathy, love, and prayers, are with you and your loved ones with the loss of this great man. Joe was my next door neighbor in Canastota, New York, throughout our childhood. He always had a smile, was full of fun, and mischief at times. Joe led a very interesting and exciting life. He and his family will always have a special home in my heart with love and fond memories. He will be missed by many of us.

I shall miss my smiling first cousin very much! Although we didn't see each other that often, when we did, his smile & greeting always made me feel so special! His obituary described him perfectly...someone who appreciated all facets of life, his family and everyone with whom he associated.
He has left many beautiful memories for his family and friends. It is my hope that these memories will soon help to ease the pain of his loss for family and friends. Prayers for Joe and for you...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My sincere condolences to Davita and all of Joe's family. The description of Joe that is listed in his obituary is so true and precise...I couldnt have said it any better. I considered Joe my good friend, from as far back as before his "airport days" (and the time he almost convinced me to go skydiving with him!) ....In the mid 1960's I took care of the Canastota Airport in one of my college years and welcomed Joe there as a frequent visitor....we both loved the Canastota Airport. At one...
