To the entire Zarella family my most sincere condolences. Joe was a good friend, a coach and spiritual inspiration to me in my yoiunger years. I will allways remember lifting weights in the basement on Nashua Road. Those days at Turco"s Shell will never be forgoten either. Joe was one of the happiest people in the world, and he will definately keep heaven and the Good Lord rocking and rolling. There will never be a quiet moment there again. Joe, I will miss you!

to the Zarella family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I wish I had known sooner. He will always have a special place in my heart. I can still remember the times I shared with him making powerlifting equipment in the basement of his house and his special sense of humor he shared with me.
