I worked with Joe for many years in NYSDOT and also knew him from Saratoga, where I lived. He was absolutely a walking ray of sunshine. His smile lit up the world. No matter what chaos was happening around us, he made it dim. The world has lost a beautiful soul and I hope he´s brightened heaven.

Seeing this remembrance of Joe pop up makes me very sad but also brings a smile to my face. The sadness is obvious due to the loss of an amazing man, friend, son, brother and husband! The smile is because of Joe´s infectious personality and warmth which he showed to everyone he met. Joe is still missed so deeply and always will! We love you very much! Our prayers are always with you Helene and your family! With all our love, Jordy, Patty and our entire family!

You are and will always be missed. We think and talk about you often, espically around holidays like Christmas and St. Patricks Day. I still remember the first day I met you and the room Patty and I were staying in had this GREAT collage of you in a big fur coat driving a CORVETTE. We have always considered you a very dear friend and still do. Our entire family miss you GREATLY! Our love to Helene and her family! We still grieve with you all!

Joe would give you his undivided attention, because Joe, genuinely cared and because you mattered to Joe.
Joe made a difference I my life and I shall miss him. Thank you Joe.

He is greatly missed.

So many great memories of my days in Saratoga, carpooling to Albany with Joe, Lou, Bill, and MaryAnn. Played lots of golf with Joe in the bridge office golf league. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. He was a tremendous person that I will never forget. Condolences to the entire family.

Helene and family
Joe has been more than a colleague to me, he has been a friend and confidant. I will miss his smile, his great heart, his wisdom, his zest for life. The news of his departure find me thousands miles away in Greece, remembering stories he shared when you visited couple of years ago. Yet, Joe is always close. Like he will be always there close to you in everything that has life. May the good memories offer you comfort this hour of immense sadness

Dear Helene and family,
Joe's obituary says that he loved people, which is so true. But in fact, people LOVED Joe! Not one person who had the pleasure of knowing Joe would have felt anything but love for him. He was generous and kind to everyone.
Our hearts are breaking at the loss of our dear friend. He remains in our hearts forever.
Sending our love and prayers to Joe's entire family.

To Joe's family - I hope you realize the positive legacy Joe has at HDR. I worked with Joe for many years in his quality endeavors. He was one of the nicest and most upbeat people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He was the consummate engineering professional, a mentor to many, and just simply a fun guy to be around. There aren't many like Joe which I'm sure you know. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joe - you will be missed and will always be in our hearts and prayers. We will cherish the memories forever......We love you and may you RIP......

I was so sorry to hear about this I never really worked with Joe but got to know him pretty well when I was playing softball with the White Plains team. Joe was a frequent visitor to our games and after-game parties at Uncle Henry's. I became very fond of him what a great guy, great personality, great witty sense of humor. Always ready to buy the team a round. When I read that he'd been a popular bartender I thought to myself, yeah, I can definitely see how that could be. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by all that knew him. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends.

Helene, Cailin, Aaron and family, I extend my very deepest condolences. I'm heartbroken for all of you. Joe was truly "one of the best!" He was one of the most kind, friendly, caring, smart, and funny guys anyone could ever know. It was so great working with Joe for over the past 4 years. No matter what he was going through he was never one to complain and still thought of others and tried to brighten someone else's day. I was very fortunate to have known Joe, I consider myself lucky. He truly lived life every day! Joe will be greatly missed by so many, but I know he's at peace now. God bless Joe

Helene and Joe's immediate family members, I am deeply saddened by the news of Joe's passing. He and I go way back. The news comes as a real shocker and on the heals of Joe and I reconnecting after a 50 year hiatus. I am thankful that I had the good fortune of reuniting with Joe a few short years ago. Joe was a great guy and he will always be one of my favorites.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Helene and Family, my wife Patty and I have had the exceptional pleasure of knowing Joe for the past 40 years. I could fill a book with fond memories of times with him.

This world will just not be the same knowing he is not here any more. Wether I saw Joe often in the early days or infrequently later in our lives, we did not skip a beat. His friendship was of great value to Patty and I and I miss him dearly already! Our deepest sympathys to you Helene and your family and to Joe's brother and sister and their family's.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Izzo family, and to Helene and Sammy especially. Although I have not seen Joe the last few years I carry with me many fond memories of our friendship. I spent many an afternoon and evening sitting across the bar from "Joey" at Sebastians and the Yorkstone Pub during his bartending days. Being from Mechanicville we always had much to talk about, and Joe was always a fountain of information that came with a boatload of laughs. He was loved and admired by a lot of people, that I know. I was very saddened to hear of his declining health back in May. I know he had his struggles, but I also know he is now at peace. I feel very fortunate to have known Joe Izzo. He was truly a good man, from a great family (loved his parents), and he will be missed. RIP my friend.
