So sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. Knowing him for 40 years he became like family to us especially when he began dating Sharon 11 years ago. Thank you Joe for treating Sharon the way she deserved to be treated! Rest Easy.

On behalf of my husband, Vincent Pergola, we are there
in spirit as Vincent (aka "Jimmy") is immobile and cannot
attend any services for Joey and it's been very difficult for
him as well as his family members so Thank you for being
there for Joey and his loving family members.
We wish you all the safest of travels and fond memories
of good times shared.
Please, Be well and be healthy.
Sinicerest wishes-Nancy (Lee)
