Although I wasn't there to say goodbye and offer my condolences, I'd like to express my deepest sympathy to all the Winiarski family, especially Angeline and Joe. Although I would only see Uncle Joe about once a year, he will always be remembered as a kind hearted man with a great smile. Rest in peace Uncle Joe, I know you will be missed by many and although left behind many loved ones will now be at rest in your journey in heaven.

Joe,

I'm sitting here in work thinking about you and how just one week ago today this nightmare was taking root. Little did we know that that would be your last day amongst us. I'll be thinking of you today and I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and the day after that.. and so on. I just can't shake this cloud that is hanging over us. If all the tears we have shed could have helped save you then your smile and happy-go-lucky nature would have continued to live. Another piece of my heart has been broken by your loss. I know that you have joined Jim, Dad and Eddie in being our Guardian Angels and perhaps have also begun your own dart league in heaven.

Until we meet again my (baby) brother we take some solace in remembering all the fun times we have shared as a family. And know that we will always be here for Angeline and Joey.

Love,

Your Sister, Helene

Seeing so many people yesterday that came to give their final goodbyes and share some memories of Joe was a true testament to how much he was loved. As hard as this week was I am grateful for my family and how we created such a beautiful service for Joe. Going forward from hear without him is going to be really difficult for us. I especially want to thank Viscontos Funeral Home who went above and beyond for us.

November 11, 2012

If I could.. I would tell Joe -
your funeral was genuine, and heartfelt from family you touched, influenced and loved. Your time on earth was too short; but rest in peace- that Angeline and Joe Jr. will hold your memories close, because your love and pride for them was unconditional. That your nephews/neices loved your zany sence of humor, and the time you spent with them. that Helene, Kathy, Liz and Walt will miss you, but cherish the memories. What all them spoke about was that love of family-was what was important to you. And the Winiarski clan- that started with your Mom & Dad-are all cut from the same cloth. Rest in peace Joe.
Love, Debbie & Bernie

My heart goes out to the Winiarski family. "Joey Chud" (as my dad called him) was not only my dad's best friend but was like an uncle to me. He will always be remembered for his kind heart and infectious smile. I'll miss seeing him especially when my dad brought him to help on a job. But I know he is looking over us.

Dear Uncle Joe:

I miss you. You are the best godfather. I like how you say "Hey Baby" to me in a special way.
I will always talk to you in my mind and say goodnight and good morning to you. And when I make my First Holy Communion this year, I will think of you.
I love you Uncle Joe, and I will never forget you.

Love,
Gia

Uncle Joe:

You were the coolest uncle. Especially on Christmas Eve, all the guys sat on the deck, and when you surprised me with the mini bike for the shore. That was awesome, and I'll never forget it.

I wish you were here so we could spend more time together.

Love,
Your great nephew,

My dear brother, Joe.

Please wake us up from this nightmare. Joe, We still have too many things to share.

Your last words to me were "Don't worry, everything will be fine".
But our hearts are broken. Why did we have to lose you?

I love you with all my heart. You always knew that too.
Love.
Your big sister, Liz
