Grandpa, thank you for everything you did for us. You were the most caring grandpa anyone could have asked for. I will always remember all the times we golfed together, and I will always remember your famous spaghetti meat sauce recipe. I love and miss you.

Despite you being a former Marine and me a former Navy man, we are Veterans nonetheless. Gonna miss you Joe and all the fun we had golfing over the years. I only pray there are no lakes in heaven for you to drive the cart into. Family gatherings at my sister’s house will never be the same without you my friend. RIP

Joe was a fixture at my Aunt Barb’s and Uncle Pete’s ice cream store in the early mornings for as long as I can remember back into my childhood! It gave me so much joy to know they had company and love and support of Joe and his pals every day. Beyond that, Joe continued to be a part of every birthday, cookie baking, special occasion with us - his smile was always present at our table. Joe was such a special bonus part of our family. He will be very much missed by all of us. Love, Kim, Kelly, Jordan and Rebecca.

Grandpa, I love and miss you! I will always remember you taking me and Trent to Baskin Robbins and letting us sit in the front seat. You were the best grandpa anyone could ask for.

Having worked at James Jewelers for many years, I became a part of the wonderful Ditello family and was able to meet Joe when he would pop in the store during his visits home. He was a kind with that endearing Ditello smile and humor. I send my Love and sympathy to all of Joes family & friends.

So unfair that I didn’t get to see you again Joe. Until we meet again my dear friend. I know you were reunited with your love, Rosemary. God bless you.

TO OUR BROTHER JOE ... You were one in a million. We were always proud of your athletic accomplishments especially when you played semi-pro football for the Pittsfield Golden Bears. We never missed a game! We have such great memories of when you came home to Pittsfield especially for the 4th of July family reunion on the lake at Jimmy's house. We remember all the fun times we had and the love we all shared. You were always a very important part of our family. Joe - we love you and you will forever be in our hearts.
LOVE YOUR DITELLO FAMILY
