The Granatino family

I just learned of Joe's passing today and am still in shock. We developed a friendship while employed with ATF. We recently met in Boston for a Red Sox game and he discussed his children the entire night. He is very proud of each one of you. My prayers are with all of you. Joe was a good person and will be missed.

I was sad to hear of "Joey's" passing. I was talking to him in the last three months after I found out his phone number. We relived some fond memories. I will always remember him at age 10 when we sneaked on the Golf Course behind the house in Hingham and got in a few holes at the end of the day! He was such a joy to be with and he could whack a golf ball pretty good too! He talked to me of his family and siblings and it was obvious he was proud and loving in his responses. I will miss him, but take solace in that he is at peace. Cousin Ted
