I work with Anthony at FCFCu. I am So sorry for the loss of your Dad Emily. I know what you´re going thru. I loss my Dad when I was 17. He never saw any of my children. I pray that it will be a sweet comfort to you to know that your Dad did get to see and know children. I believe it was a huge blessing for him to be able to have that. Please take comfort in knowing that you & Anthony provided that for him. My sympathy to all of your family. God Bless!!

Met Joe through business over 15 years ago and our relationship grew from there. Perhaps my best memory was Joe DJ´ing a surprise 40th b-day for my wife and spinning and dancing the night away. A true gentlemen that knew how to have fun. Thanks for all the laughs and good times Joe. My love and prayers to your family.

Joe, you are one person that I will never forget, you put a smile on my face more often than most of the students that I taught over my 38 year career. You were not just a student you were a friend. You were one of the most polite young men that I have ever met and you had a heart of gold. If someone needed anything you would be the first one to come forward. Memory Eternal my friend.May you fly with the angels and watch over your family and all those that you loved.
My deepest condolences to the entire family and all of his friends.

Joe ,
You were always a stand up guy ! A great smile and a fabulous family man. You will be missed by many.
I remember when we met at your house for a family cookout , we were both 26 at the time . Where did 34 yrs go ?? After I married Donny you and I became the " outlaws" together. ( just a cute funny inside joke :-) Back in the day , we always shared some laughs together.

May you be with Donny now and your Dad & of course Almighty God . That´s what you deserve .
Until we meet again , May God hold you in the palm of His hand .
With many nice memories , I´ll always remember you.
Rest peacefully.
Joanne

Kathy , Emily & Joseph ,
My heart is broken for each of you .
He´ll remain with you every single day , because he simply wouldn´t want to be anywhere else.
Prayers for your healing daily .
With Deepest Sympathy , and Gods Blessings to each of you.

Dear Kathy, Emily, Joseph and family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Joe's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. Joe was not just a co-worker to Steve but we both considered him a dear friend. We are struggling with the fact that he was called home to soon. We will always remember the wonderful times we spent together the many laughs we shared. We could see it in his eyes when we last saw him at Christmas he was suffering. The Lord has called him home and he will suffer no more. May you rest in peace Joe. We will forever miss you.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Steve & Donna Lombardi
