To the DiOrio Family:
My condolences. I remember a youthful and vibrant Joe with a puckish grin whom I worked with in the Stop&Shop Accounting Dept. and with whom our group shared some happy moments playing golf.
Don't be sad, just be glad that we
had the chance to know eachother and have some time to spend together, for that's how I will remember your Dad.

Tommy and family,
So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts. I remember your Dad telling me to smile more (about 25 years ago). I hope you find comfort in those around you.
