Dear Joan , Michael, Christian and the entire Drusano Family
The news of Joe's death was a gut punch to all who heard it. I knew Joe for almost 20 years and I echo the sentiments of many others - he was the nicest guy and someone who always made you feel good to be around. But what I most want you to know, Joan, Mike, and Chris, is how proud he was of his family and how much he loved you and talked to others about you. You could tell in his voice and in his stories just how much his family meant to him. Like many good people he is gone too soon. But he left his mark in the hearts of all who knew him and our memories of and fondness for him will live on. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May Joe rest now in God's everlasting peace which he so richly deserves..

To the Drusano Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Joe hired me in 1973. He was my first Manager at BCBS; a mentor and friend. Do as I have done with the loss of a loved one, celebrate his life and thank God for the time he was with you. My deepest sympathies.

Joan, Christian and Michael,
So very sorry to hear about your loss! Joe was one of the kindest men I have ever met. I saw him occasionally at John Carroll and he was at my daughters JC this past May. Prayers to all as you deal with this difficult situation. May all his wonderful memories stay alive in all your hearts forever. I can honestly say I know what you're going thru. I lost my dad exactly one week ago.
Prayers to all

Joan, Michael and Christian - it was a pleasure and honor working with Joe. He will be missed. It was wonderful to see how much a man could love his wife and a father could love his children and grandchildren. "Meal" will be missed.

Joe and I were classmates for 8 years at the Shrine of the Little Flower and we were stockboys together at the Elmley Avenue Delicatessen. I last spoke to Joe at the John Carroll graduation in June 2016. I am saddened at his death but will surely see him again.
My condolences to Joe's family and friends. I will pray for all.
