I stopped into the store today, and was so saddened to learn that Joe had passed away. He was my butcher...the guy who told me how to cook everything so that I wouldn't kill my family. I am grateful to him for his words of wisdom, and for the lollipops my girls got everytime they visited the store. My sincerest condolences to Joe's family.

New life is starting here and in heaven.

My Uncle Joe, I always thought as a little kid was Dean Martin. He was cool and handsome. He was always kind, loving and supportive.He was a brother to my dad and sometimes like a father to me.
He was a kind, gentle, loving man who i respected and admired. I had to visit the store every time I came to town.
I loved his laugh and sense of humor and soft spoken voice.
It pained me greatly to see him suffer and the only comfort I can get from saying goodbye is the knowledge that he is at peace and suffering no more.
He was a Panzeca and all that goes with that. My deepest condolences to all of the family and friends who will miss him.
I love you Uncle Joe. You will always be a part of the fondest memories of my life. I love you too Aunt Pat and am sorry for your loss. xo
You were one of the many people in our family that mad me proud to say Im a Panzeca
thank you for all you brought to our lives
Goodbye Uncle Joe xo

I worked at DuBois for many years while Joe was there and always found him to be honest, professional and extremely hardworking. His reputation there was stellar and I enjoyed those times when we exchanged ideas and I always appreciated his advice. He was so well-liked at DuBois, I think the entire company was shocked when he resigned. My condolences to Joe's family. May he rest in peace.

We moved up the street from Hyde Park Meats 7 years ago, when our twins were 9 months old. Joe was always so nice to our kids and so wry and fun to talk with, especially when it came to college sports. We extend our deep sympathy to you all.
