We’re saddened to just hear of Joe’s passing. He was the Mayor of Elizabeth Road and the nicest, most upbeat person we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Our condolences to a great family - he will be missed. Russ and Eileen Ryan

I would see Mr Paratore at the cemetery where his wife, who he would tell me about, and my parents are buried near eachother. We made the connection of our families and shared a few stories, always ending with a smile. My sympathy to you all.
