Linda & family,
I have many fond memories of "Jedge" as a child. His visits to see his sister (Lucy) and my father (Tony) on Hartford's Catherine street were always special events, as were our family get-togethers. He was always a gentleman, as were all the Demmas.
He will be fondly remembered. Our sympathy to all of you. I am proud to call him my great uncle.

Dear Linda and Aunt Millie:
We were so sorry to hear the bad news. Our deepest sympathy. Uncle Joey was a terrific guy and wonderful uncle. He was always fun to be around. When he was in the Army and I was a baby, he sent me letters addressed to "baby blue eyes"; I still have them.
Our love,
Sandy (Demma) & Ed Dressler

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Mr. Demma is looking down and is watching over you. You are the true definition of what any parent would want in a child and I know he couldn't have been any more proud of you for your loyalty to him. Mr. Demma had an infectious personality that we adored being around (even in the hospital). You and your family are in my prayers. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything! Love, Michelle Jackson (WH VA Connecticut)

Linda and Aunt Millie,
Gosh this feels so impersonal but I hope you do get to see this post.
Linda, I have always blocked out loosing my Daddy. And someday, I will have to feel what you are. I never want to imagine or say I have a clue how you feel. But the time will come. For whatever you feel? My heart is with you, in a huge way~
Aunt Millie, hugs to you though it has been so long ago and life changes. I may be from away, but my family lives in my heart! I am so sorry I cannot be there but please know the love is no less, the sentment no smaller.

Dear Linda and Aunt Millie,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Joey always had that sparkle in his eyes and I was always "12 years old" no matter how many years went by. I will cherish his smile, his laughter and most recently all the stories he told us about the good old days. He will truly be missed.

Aunt Millie,
I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Joey, You and Uncle Joey were there for me when I was growing up, You both treated me like a daughter, I was given unconditional love, I know how I used to run to you both and into your arms when I learned to walk, I remeber you both took me on vacation to the cape one year, and I got sick and Uncle Joey put a towel over my head and made me breath in vicks and hot water, these memories are some of my fondest, I will miss him so much.. My prayers and thoughts are with you and the Demma family.. I love you.
