To Linda, and the Sparaco family. First off im terribly saddend by the loss of my good friend Joe. There were countless good times to rember Joe by, so to pick one out is impossable. Camping in VT, fishing, concerts were allways an experience. Im glad he found happiness with such a good person like you Linda!! I will miss him every day. Linda I hope I get to talk to you sometime soon. Wish you all the best in this your worst time. Your friend Chris.

To the Sparaco Family,

I haven’t seen Joe in over 23 years. I just recently learned about the loss. Whenever I’d visit the east coast I’d always ask about Joe. My deepest sympathies go out to your entire family.

I was very sad to hear about Joey. My condolences to everyone that Joey touched in his life. I have not seen Joey in over 20 years, but he will live in my childhood memories forever. We shared some great times through our junior high and high school years...hanging out in the Garage and exploring the woods...he was a great individual and he will be missed and remembered by his smile and the smile he gave to others.

Dear Sparaco family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
I have'nt seen Joe in years but it is nice to read about the many people he has touched and his many different talents.
I was driving by Tower Park recently telling my son how I had a friend who could climb that Tower.
The ease in which he did that was always impressive.

Dear Sparaco family. Years pass but memories and friendships do not. I was a friend and acquaintance of Joey since our first days of school and through Cub Scouts. So essentially 35 years. I last saw him about 6 years go and it was like time had stood still for us and our friendship. Joe was a good guy and I am sorry for your loss. I will pray for him.

Dear Joe,

You were - and always will be - an amazing soul who will live on forever in my heart. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me over the years...
Every day I look at a piece of furniture that you lovingly crafted with your hands and I am amazed at your incredible talents. Your smile will always be with me.
God bless you, and your family.
Please know how much Joe touched me in my heart... he was always so caring, so giving... such a great person... a carpenter, a friend, a fisherman, a cook, a wonderful companion to Linda...
Thank you....
Love,
Paula
