I met Joe in 1999 at the YMCA in downtown Pittsburgh. He was a super friendly, kind man who made coming to the Y so fun. We became good friends and was shocked to hear of his passing. I had moved away and never kept in touch which I feel badly about. Thinking of him and glad he is no longer in pain. RIP, Joe.

It is now April and we just heard about Joe. We were shocked and saddened to learn of this and send our sympathies to all of his family. He was a bright spot in the Club One regulars with a smile for everyone. We moved to Urban Active and he was one of the people we really missed. - Loretta and Bob Barone

Many of us loved your dad. We shared many a cup of coffee and green tea at Tazza D'Oro. He was a good friend to me and a dapper, classy guy. I will miss him terribly.

I knew your dad from Tazza D'Oro and always found great enjoyment in his outgoing personality, humor and seemingly endless great stories. He was a truly good man and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. I will always remember him fondly.

Kelly, I am very sorry to learn of your loss. When we were young our families got together often and it was always a good time. Unfortunately our meetings of late were only at family funerals. Please accept my sincerest sympathy. Nancy Hazlett, (Mitrecic) - cousin.
