My deepest sympathy to you Joe, and your family to hear of your fathers passing. I always remember when he would come into the dojo and I would say hi, he always responded by looking right at me, and somehow made my heart smile.

So very sorry about Joe's passing. He was truly a wonderful husband, father and friend. May you find comfort in knowing his many friends share your sorrow. Rest in peace, dear friend.

My deepest condolences to the entire Esposito family. I've know Mr Esposito Sr. for 30 years. He always met you with a big smile and kind words. I remember having many great conversations with him while working at Esposito's Karate when I was a teenager. He always took the time to talk about whatever you needed when you just needed someone to bend an ear with. His spirit will always live on through his wonderful family.
