Remembering the many fun and wonderful times we had in Erie many years ago. Many very deep conversations and I always marveled at his explanations of life. One night he told me he retired and he threw away his watch. I said Joe why did you do that? He said "Because I don't need to know what time it is any more now as I am retired"!
At a very tough time in my life Margie and Joe came to visit me and it was one of the best conversations of my life. I am forever grateful for that day in Arizona and I think of it very often.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt he is in heaven with his son and his brother Vinny. He spoke to me about after life and his theories on it. The other day when we spoke he told me he had everything he needed. He was quite a special man! I love you all very much. Prayers and thoughts for Margie and the family. My heart is with you all....Rest in peace dear Joe....

Dear Mary and family,
I was very saddened to hear the news of your fathers passing. I remember your dad had a quiet and kind presence and I took great pride in knowing our fathers grew up together once upon a time.
May God grant you His divine peace during this difficult time and always, knowing he is walking the streets of gold with his savior and is preparing a place for you someday..
Much love always my friend,

The last coherent revelation my Father gave us was this, The ease of suffering has to come from God. The Blessed Mother Directs all things. Her timing is Perfect.

He was a GREAT grandfather, very religious but still had a sense of humor but still somehow took no nonsense. I just don't know what we're going to do without him
