Being a daughter-in-law for almost 30 years, Joe became my second dad. My dad passed 21 years ago. Joe immediately said it was his job to look after me. It made me feel wonderful and loved. I feel blessed to have had two wonderful fathers in my life. God bless Joe Marchese, and all his loved ones that miss him so much.
