Joseph V. Meli

Dawn, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. I just found out today that Joe passed away. I'm very saddened to hear this news. We all used to be so close. I'm so sorry we've lost contact over these years. My deepest sympathy will be with you in the days ahead.

What was enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us. ( Helen Keller ). Aunts Val, Ruth and mom.

Sending sincere sympathies to Joey's wife, children and family growing up we shared years of our lives, the Royal Street crew were a bunch of daily regulars as their DJ I'd spin this song for Joe (only because he had a song with his name.) I'll always remember your husband & Dad the good friend, class act he was and great times we shared. R.I.P.

I am sad to hear my cousin Joe passed away.

We shared many good childhood memories of Thanksgiving Days spent together with family enjoying a turkey dinner and watching Joe’s brother Micheal stellar performance as the mighty Medford Mustangs defeated rivals Malden High School. Christmas night at the Meli’s house for Millie's famous lasagna and watching the Bunker Hill Day parade
with multi-generations of the Rand family at Beady’s annual parade party.

My Aunt Millie loved her ”Joe” so very much. She was proud of Joe’s prosperity,
cherished being Mimi to her grandchildren, and felt loved and nurtured by Joe and Dawn in their home.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Dani and Mat
