Uncle Joey and the whole Gualtieri family were my family too. I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Joey was an inspiration to everyone he met. Sure he yelled at us all the time, but in the end, he always apologized and hugged us. He was super man when I worked for him in his sixties and now he's an angel who will never be forgotten. He was not only my boss but my mentor. I remember delivering him food and he would sit with me and we would talk about things I have never told anyone. He was the kindest, most loving man, and boss I have ever had. You are truly an amazing human being and God is lucky to have another wonderful angel on his side. I'll always carry you in my heart and prayers! You gave me such wonderful memories that will stick with me forever. I love you Uncle Joey

Uncle Joey was my oldest Uncle and will be greatly missed. A witty and funny man who taught us integrity and discipline. I will always remember the times spent with him and have a special place in my heart for him. Rest In peace, Uncle Joe.
