To the Fugazzotto Family, Joe was a great guy, I sat next to Joe all throughout high school and there was never a boring class! Played football with Joe and went to CCD class with Joe at St Joe's. One thing I will never forget about Joe, his smile, and his way to get people to smile and enjoy there time around him. I'm deeply saddened from this and I'm praying for your family in this time.

Pat & Deb, Jake, Jared and family,

May the memory of all the goodness in Joe's heart sustain you through the painful grieving process. He was a part of our lives for many years and we will remember his compassion for the less fortunate and of course his amazing culinary skills. Although we have many good memories, the one that stands out is when he had us over with my Mom, grandma, for dinner. He was so nervous, as if the Queen of England was coming (Nicole's grandmother). It was such an amazing evening, never forgotten. Jesus has welcomed him into his loving arms and you have an angel looking over you for the rest of time. God Bless all of you with our sincerest sympathy.

To the Fugazzotto family, and friends, you have my deepest sympathy. As you know, Joe was always around as he grew up. I enjoyed having him around swimming at the quarry, and when he and the guys got together at Mike Szivos' home too. When the Joe and Jared had the restaurant, it was my pleasure to bring many people there and see them the brothers there. His presence will be sorely missed. I pray for your healing with warm memories and the balm of the Holy Spirit. God bless you all.

Dr & Mrs. Fugazzotto,
Although we've never had the pleasure to make your son's acquaintance we do remember that he was born right around the same time that our oldest son was born. Dr Fugazzotto, you are a very special man to many people so we have to believe that your son was as well. We pray that God will wrap his loving arms around you and your family and give you peace and that your son's arrival in heaven was everything we all dream it to be.
Your former patients and friends,
Tom & Sherry Elias and sons Michael and Scott Elias

Dr. Fugazzotto and Mrs. Fugazzotto I am so sorry to hear about Joe. I remember last year near the end of summer seeing Joe and hanging out with him and John Mcbride. Its been over 6 years since I saw him, but Joe still remembered me and even brought out his guitar to play by Mcbride's pool. I am so glad I got the opportunity to spend some time with him and even Stella. He was so passionate playing the guitar he was actually teaching me some chords to play each time the three of us would hangout. Joe was truly one of a kind and had such a giving heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Your Neighbor Kyle

I worked with Joe at Carrabba's Italian grill as teenagers in the year 2000. He was passionate about great food, and was a master of the brick oven. We instantly became great friends, and made unforgettable memories together over the years. I've lived in California for over the last ten years, but would always make a point to stop by Daniel St whenever I was in town where I would be graciously received by both Joe and his loving parents. Joe has an amazing spirit unparalleled by anyone I've ever met before, and will be beyond missed. My heart goes out to his mother and father who are two wonderful people, and to all who knew and loved Joe as I did. One thing that stood out about Joe more than anything else was how passionate he was. He had an admirable intensity very few possess. I could never forget a man like Joe, and if you knew him, neither will you. I love you, Joe. May you find the peace we all seek.

To the Fugazzatto Family,
My condolences for your loss. What a handsome, funny, goofball he was. I remember him from high school always joking around, smiling at everyone. I didn't realize he was so passionate about the culinary arts, how cool is that. He is gone too soon. May he rest in peace and I hope you find comfort in knowing he had tons of friends and what seemed like a huge heart, and made people he didn't even know that well, smile when they saw him.
