Father Joe was our neighbor and friend growing up in Manayunk . We grew up in a different time and we all went our different ways. Seeing Father Joe over the years brought us back to good memories of family and friends. We had lots of laughs and some good cakes ,and he stayed the genuine good person that we all knew. Father Joe, you are gone too soon. You have left behind many people who valued you as a friend. You are home now. Your friend, Ann (Sienko) Sparling.

Father Joe was a simple, kind and caring priest. A priest friend of mine recently told me as I prepare to retire The best is yet to come. I pray Father Zingaro will now see the best and enjoy it. Father Francis

Father Joe was a kind and peaceful man of faith. He quietly served and shared the Lord with all in his life.
I first met and appreciated Joe when we were in Latin class together at St. John's Church in the summer of 1970 prior to our entering St. Charles Seminary. Because of his devout relationship with the Lord I asked him to be my sponsor at my confirmation at a private ceremony with Bishop Ghrahm in September 1970.
God give Father Joe eternal life and love.

You will be dearly missed. Being in your presence was a true blessing. I thought for sure you would pull through this but turns out our Lord had a different plan for you. As you look down on us, we promise to be as peaceful and loving to others as you were when you were here with us. Rest In Peace and we will never forget you.

Dear Father Joe, you have been so warm and gracious to me. I am not a parishioner, but you were so attentive and caring while planning and holding my parents funerals. I am eternally grateful for the privilege of knowing you. It was joyous.
