September 8, 2015

Dana and the entire Cipolla family, our sincerest condolences on the passing of a such a great man. He always had a smile for us whenever we bumped into him somewhere and usually had us laughing within the first 5 minutes. His presence will truly be missed around town. A part of our youth has been taken from us, but none of those memories will fade. If they haven't in 30 years, I doubt they ever will. It was our pleasure to have known Joe and shared so many fun times growing up.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Jeff and Sandee (Laubacher) Miller

Joey, when I think of you I wanna cry, I wanna laugh and I wanna tell you to calm down and let me speak for a second or two. Now that's all recorded history. Now I will take what "I've learned from you" and make myself a better man and help others become better human beings. You know what people forget in this world - we all forget to think, we need to stop - look around and listen - then ask yourself "what would Joe do in this situation"? I know what he would do - he would LISTEN and then tell you what you should do - I've been practicing it the past few days and WOW --- life has become much much fuller. Old dogs can learn new tricks.....

To my childhood friend of 40+ years - take it easy up there buddy - cuz I know already your campaigning for control - you'll get there joey you got all the time in the world plus I'm going to email you a hard hat - just incase. Forever my friend.

Dana & Family
I am so sorry that we have lost our Joe. The affect he has had on my life and that of my family is something that no words can describe. There is absolutely no question that I am a better man because Joe was in my life. Take comfort in knowing his charm, wit, intelligence and leadership has helped many people in their lives.
In the end, its not what you take with you, its what you've given. With that judgment, Joe sits on the highest pedestal, in the highest regard, with that big bright smile on his face.
My deepest love and sympathy.
