Hey Joe. Just want to let you know I was thinking about you. I still can't believe it. I was looking at the text message I sent you that evening. Still make me tear up, but I know you received it and you knew your sister and I were thinking of you. God now has a wonderful angel. You will be missed but never forgotten. Love Ya Joe. Save me a seat in heaven❤

I had only met Joseph once, but from that visit alone, I could tell he was a kind man. I love hearing childhood stories of all the good times spent with my husband Matthew and the rest of the family. You were loved by all and will be greatly missed. I wish I could have spent more time getting to know you. I'm sorry we could not be there to say goodbye, but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Rest in peace Joseph.

I reflect upon Joseph every day and am by your side as you navigate through this difficult path. The following are reflections I tried to share at his service. I'm forever grateful for Joey's help in getting me through them as he came up, stood by my side and reached over my shoulders giving me the support needed to read the comments through tearful eyes, a reach that goes back to our teenage years... your brother, uncle and lifelong friend Matty.
"I want to take a few moments to remember Joseph. In preparing my comments there was tendency to describe him as something bigger than he was. The most cheerful, the most kind and considerate, the most impressive, and to some he was those things in their eyes at that moment. But the thing I realized was Joseph's real strength was that he was just one of us, trying to make sense of a crazy world, doing the things he needed to do to get through the day and, in doing so, kept his boyish wonder of things around him, his contagious positive attitude and the love for his family and friends that he wore openly and proudly on his sleeve.
At brunch this past Sunday, the family was together recalling memories of Joseph with a common theme of his joyfulness, curiosity and, to put it kindly, thriftiness. I think it was Joey who said he wanted this service to be a recognition of the joyfulness Joe brought to everything he did and the love he shared with those around him, and less so on the deep loss we have all experienced. Advice I'm taking.
I've known Joseph from the beginning, having served at his baptism as his Godfather and watch him grow into the extraordinary man he became. I can honestly say that in every encounter, I found him with a contagious smile, surrounded by others who loved him and enjoyed his presence. From the wayback Brooklyn family gatherings when he was running around with the other cousins up until the last time we met, I felt a genuine sense of gladness when in his presence.
He always has a tale to tell. And he always told it with a smile and an unquenchable confidence that things would turn out as he hoped. Whether it was tracking down some obscure deal he came across or discussing a more serious issue, he always focused on succeeding, not necessarily winning, because to win others had to lose, and he was all about sharing what he learned in the hopes others could also benefit, a reflection of the loving and caring childhood he experienced growing up with Chris, Joey, Jill and then Luis and the rest of his family.
And then his love of Jeanine and Ryan and Sean. Ruth and I live up north so we only saw them on trips for holiday gatherings and such. But that was enough to see the love and compatibility between them. And what a team! If Joe and Jeanine focused their sights on getting something done, it got done! And from what we could see at a distance, they took great joy in each other in doing it, a closeness we all hope to achieve in our own relationships.
Finally, in thinking about what we can learn from Joseph and keep with us going forward, the next time someone or something upsets you, instead of flashing the old Bronx Cheer at whoever did whatever, just remember Joe's contagious smile and pass it along, whenever you learn something that can help someone else, think of Joe's excitement at telling the tale and find a way to share and, most importantly, the next time you see something marked $4.99 and they try to charge you $5.00, remember you have someone on your side as you smile and politely say "Yes, but..." and enjoy the ride."

I've waited a long time to write this. Mainly because I don't know how to say goodbye to you. It was not supposed to be like this. We were supposed to grow old together. You were going to be such a big part of LJ's life. I am so sad that he did not get more time with his Uncle Joe. I am so sad that I did not get more time with my brother. I look back at old photos and remember all of the times we did have together. They were all great times. I appreciate every day that Mom and Dad gave us such fortunate and fruitful lives. Wildwood, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Florida, apple picking and pumpkin picking, wonderful Holidays and the list goes on. I will miss our weekend dinners, my random calls to you about so many things. I know you're supposed to be at peace now, but it hurts knowing we can never talk again in person. I do talk to you every night and I just hope you hear me. I hope you know how much I loved you and still do. LJ sends balloons to the sky for you every day. I will never let him forget you. You touched so many lives and there are so many people missing you. My heart hurts. It's broken. It's hurts for me, but also for everyone else. For mom, dad, Lou, LJ, Jeanine, Sean, Ryan, Grandma and our entire family. Your friends and co-workers. They all miss you. You are so loved and respected. I wonder if you even knew. You know now. I went to the beach this weekend to try to relax and gain some understanding. I saw the most beautiful sunset and thought of you. This seat is for you Joe. I love you and will miss you forever. Your sister Jill.

Joe, you will be missed. I have many great memories of us growing up. Trips to New Jersey, eventually becoming trips to Florida. Get togethers in Brooklyn, NJ and Albany. Then there was the one week we got to spend in Brooklyn. I still laugh thinking about how Grandma and Grandpa took us to the nude beach Good times. In fact too good seeing how it was the ONE week we got to spend in Brooklyn. The times we spent together will hold a special place in my heart.
Joe, you were taken much too soon from us. Looking back, you experienced more in your time here then most do in a long life. Your outlook on life is a great lesson for all of us. Live it to the fullest. I will remember that always. You will be missed.

I will talk to you soon on this page. You are missed everyday and never forgotten. Love you Joe??????

Although we have not kept in touch, I was sorry to hear of Joseph's unexpected passing. Please accept my heartfelt expression of sympathy. From the many comments he seemed to be wonderful and fun fun loving. I will remember all of you who are left behind in my prayers. Find comfort in knowing now you have your own special angel watching over you.

I have put this off for so many days and I guess for me it's because doing so will make it final that you are no longer with us and besides what else can I add that so may already haven't already written. But just in case you haven't received these messages yet to summarize - you left us too soon, too heartbroken, we love you and will always remember you. But I wonder if you knew how much we did love you and enjoyed being around you, and darn I wish we would have all let you know personally. I am going to miss your laugh and how sometimes I just had to roll my eyes and shake my head because you said or did something that was so unbelievable I couldn't believe you just did that. I am going to miss you now being here to tell my how I should run my air conditioning to still be cool but economical. I was so honored that even though you had so many family Aunts you called me Aunt also, and how as you got older you preferred being called Joseph but I couldn't help myself and would sometimes slip and call you Jay from your youth. For someone so young you touched so many lives in so many ways, and your not being here now has hopefully taught us to let others know now how much we care and love those around us and not to wait until it's too late. None of us got the chance to say any parting words or goodbye to you. As for me I'll leave it up to William Shakespeare and simply add "Goodnight sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest".

Joe,
I still cannot believe that I'm writing this. You were a great man. You were a great husband to my mother, and father to Sean and I. It breaks my heart to imagine having to continue life without your hearty laugh, warm smile, and silly jokes. I know I never really got to tell you how big you were in my life, but that's because I had expected a few more years together than we got. You did something most men run from. You stepped up and became a father. We, as your kids, have so much to be grateful for forever and ever. You gave me happiness, joy, taught me what being a man means, and gave that tough love when I needed it. You played a monumental roll in making me the man I am today, and I'm proud to have called you my dad. You taught us to live life to the fullest, and cherish every single moment we get, because nobody guarantees you tomrrow. You will be greatly missed by all of us, words really cannot do it justice. I would love more than anything to have you with me here as I continue down my path in life. There's so much I wish you could be there to see, especially these next few years. I pray now that you watch over us for the rest of our time until we're all reunited again. Until then take it easy, keep on cruising, and keep the good deals coming. I hope that one day when it comes my time to be a dad that I can be half the dad that you didn't have to be.
With all my love, your son,
Ryan
Love Mom and Dad

For some reason you were taken from us way too soon, but we are thankful for the almost 37 years we had together. We know through your actions how important your family was to you without ever having to say it. We are very proud of everything you accomplished in life, making life fun for all around you. Reading the comments of the people you have touched has allowed us to see how you shared your spirit and love for life. We will miss you so very much; you will always be in our hearts .

I have so many fond memories growing up with Joe, from lazy Sundays afternoons at the pool in Manalapan, to eating lemon ice on the stoop at Strong Place. For anyone who has had the pleasure of spending time with Joe, it becomes immediately clear that he had a deep love of life, a hearty laugh, and an incorrigible sense of adventure. Above all, he was a good person with a big heart, and we'll miss him dearly.

Joseph a wonderfull, good person, who developed from a young boy to a kind, goodnatured man. There is not much that has to be said, cause his record speaks for itself. Joseph's time with us, especially with his family, was full and fulfilling. Relish in what was, as we will always keep him in our hearts. Love to all of his family from all of ours.

My dearest husband, I will miss you greatly. You taught me to live life to the fullest, cherish each moment as it comes and to enjoy the love of family. To my children you were father, mentor and someone who they could look up to. I know you were proud of both of them, raised them as your own, and for that I shall always be grateful.
You were my friend, confidant and partner is all things. We laughed, cried and enjoyed life to its fullest. Together we traveled the world and crossed only a handful of things off our bucket list. I will miss you more than you know. There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled from the love that we were to share together. My heart is broken.
I shall continue to love you and I hope that you are with the rest of our family watching over us. Keep us safe and continue to send the sales and deals our way. You were always the best at finding the “steals”. The only thing I can do now is dream of you. I love you so much, and will miss you even more.
Your wife ………….

You taught me to love, live and forgive. You helped me grow emotionally as a wife and be a better mother. My heart is broken and forever will be a hole where your love would have continued to fill. You were by best friend, my confidant and my husband. I will forever be in your debt, and you will forever be missed and loved.
Your kindness and heart can be seen in the boys we raised. You were a beloved father and mentor. Your light shine on us so bright that we will never truly be in the dark. I love you more than words can say and will miss you even more.
We did not have near enough time together. Be safe. Watch over me and the family. And what ever you do, please keep sending the sales and deals our way! You knew how to find them.
Always yours......
