I am a distant relative of Joe's. We were distant cousins. Our Grandmother's were sisters. I grew up in Norwood, and only saw Joe Sr. & Jr. when the family came out to Norwood, when we were children. My Grandmother was Maria Lore' Bilotta. I had fond memories of the family. Joe Sr. was my father Frank Bilotta's cousin. I am sorry for your family's loss. Carolyn Bilotta McNeil

Although we did not see each other often..
you were always in my thoughts and prayers.
My fondest memory's of you were when we were very young and playing on hot summer days at Aunt Polly's house and swimming in the back yard pool and playing cowboys and Indians and shooting each other with cap guns, it was a "safe place for me" when I was very young. I will never forget your kindness love and calm nature.
You once said to me "time is to short" and now that has become a reality. I will never forget you, May God bless you.. rest in peace my Beloved cousin.
