I did not know Joe for long, but working with him at Aramark and Talluto's gave me the gift of knowing one the the kindest and funny loving people I have ever met. I am truly sorry for your family's loss. He was a great man that strived to help others and believed that people can be great. I will miss him greatly.

B,
As the days go by and the world continues to turn, I miss you more and more! Nothing is the same without you here, As Christmas comes along and I smile for your “bratty Grandchildren” I am empty, I just wish I had one more minute there are so many questions that are not answered, and I still can’t believe that God took you from us, you of all people! I hope that you are in no more pain, and I know that you are watching all of us, and I am sure having some pretty good laughs! (Thanks B) I am still waiting for you to be at home when I go there, or yell at me for something, or laugh at me for something!
I hope you have a peaceful Christmas; and that you are with the people you loved in Heaven, the people you Love here are all here and trying to continue the way you would want us to!
So have a good one B….
I Love you and miss you

B,
Funny how you thought it would be to give that silly name and you got stuck with it! I wanted to Thank You for always sticking by me, for giving me right when I was right and letting me know “my butt was out” when it was! Thank You for being you and being the Grappop to the “bratty grandchildren” that you were, And for letting me know when the deal was off (if you are laughing don’t) I will continue to make you proud of us, I want you to know that I was proud of you, always smiling, always worried about everyone else instead of yourself!
Even though I know you are all better now; I can’t image our lives without you, I think of the kids and how their little faces would light up every time they saw you, thank you for loving them the way you did, they will always have their memories of you, and for that I will be eternally grateful. I hope that you are with your Mom, (Tor Tor will let me know if you are)
Please always know that I Love You! And that I will miss you everyday of my life!
Please always watch over us and see all the great things Joey and the kids will accomplish, I hope that you found my “angels” they will take good care of you!
Please always check in and keep us safe and Happy! You will always be a part of me, until I see you again,
Take Care B……
Love your favorite daughter in law

Dear Roe and Family,
I just wanted to say how deeply saddened I am about the passing of a wonderful man. I loved Joe very much and I always had the greatest respect for him. I wished to be more like him when i was in my early 20's. So kind and could always make you laugh, he had such a great smile n sense of humor. I will always cherish the times i had in his company. I know hes in heaven cause God only takes the good ones and he was one of the best. I will continue always to keep the family in my prayers

Dear Roe and Family,
Hold on to each other. Your way of life has changed. Your daily routine will be different. Joe's memory will lead you through this change. Once the grieving has passed you will laugh at the little thing that will forever live in your memory. He was a special man.. We will never forget him.. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers...

Love,
Roe & Chris

It was a privilege and a blessing to have you as a father. I will never forget the things you did for me. You always believed and stood by me. With everything I do I will try to make you proud. I may have outgrown your lap but you will never out grow my heart. I love you daddy.

There are no words to describe the sadness I feel. Joe was such a kind man and a wonderful friend. If there was ever anything he could do for you, he was on it. I will miss all of the teasing and the little tricks he played on me. He loved to harass me and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. No one could make me laugh like Joe. He was taken way too soon, but in the short time he was here, he left me so many great memories. I will hold these memories close to my heart always. We were all so fortunate to have him in our lives.
R.I.P dear friend. Love you and miss you.

Daddy,
Words can not say how much we are all going to miss you. Don't worry we will take care of mommy. Tom and I will be sure that Isabella knows what a great father, husband and grand-father you were, and how much you loved her. I will miss your one liners and the way you laughed at your own jokes. It makes it easier knowing you are not in any pain and you are looking down on us along w/ Grandmom and Grandpop. I miss you and love you!!! xoxo

Brother Dear, if you can read this then you know my heart is broken in a million pieces. I keep asking myself, why you, why? You were always the good one, always the silent worrier even when Mommy got sick, you always looked out for me and Frankie. I may be older but you were always my "Big Brother" and although I had such a hard time dealing with you being sick I was falling apart inside everytime I saw you, I hope my smile and reassurance was a comfort to you. I never wanted to see you suffer. I hope your with Mom and Dad, John and Gerri right now, smoking the biggest cigar and just sitting back with a drink, no more pain brother dear. I can never begin to tell you how much I miss you, until we see each other again, please stay close to me, Sister Dear.

Well what could I say, My brother in law was a great guy, I loved him like he was my brother, met him when i was a young kid. He always knew how to break them for me, making fun at the way i talked or filming me when i was eating or the funny christmas gifts he would give me. I will miss all of that but i know one thing i will never forget him. He was always there for me and my children, No matter what we needed or any help we needed he was there. God took him 2 soon. My sister needed him and so does everyone else but we can not judge God he only takes the best and now he has one of the best. Joe rest in peace and know that I will never never forget you, I love you with all my heart brother and please give my mother in law a hug for me.

Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss.

When you think of your lives together and all those loving years remember you will always have his eternal love with you.

There will be many rocky roads ahead and many hills to climb; but with your faith, the love and support of your family and friends together you can do it by taking one day at a time.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

..."Only the good die young"...if you think about that it really is true. My Godfather was taken from his family way too soon. We know that he is in peace with Granpop Frank and Grandmom Gladys..they are all our guardian angels..and you can never have too many...so even though he isn't here with us anymore he will always be in our hearts. xoxo
