Joseph John Vitale

I miss you Joe I have many great memories including your kindness, caring nature, and the love you showed for your family friends and people close to you. You were not only kind, loving and so intelligent but always there when needed. I miss you.

Thanks, Joe for taking me under your wing when I was a Freshman of 6' and about 120 lbs. You worked with me when no one else would too. I never really "got game" but I finally got to play some. Sorry my message is so late. Eternal time is yours, now.

Joe was my great uncle and although it's been years since I've seen him, I will miss him dearly. He was a GREAT man and had the best stories. My thoughts and prayers to Carole and family. I'm so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by all that knew him. Much love to you all.

Joe, you never coached me or taught me formally, but you always made me laugh. I cherish the memories of our meetings at our kitchen table, your excellent advice, and your hilarious good humor.

Joe was absolutely a guy who repeatedly made a difference for the better. His enthusiasm for whatever was his current top idea was wonderful. A fine coach, a fine athlete, a good friend and colleague, a champion of generosity.

You are my Hero Dad and I Love you Always!....and you are right " Life is a series of Adjustment...It's how we handle these adjustment which strengthen us" See you soon because life is a blink!
