So sorry to hear about the passing of Joe. We were classmates at SCSC and later became pizza pals, and we have many fond memories of that time. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Cally & Joe Angeletti

My mother Connie and I have many wonderful memories of her brother/my uncle. Aunt Elaine and my cousins, please know you’re all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love to everyone!

Mr Formato was my gym teacher at Racebrook Schoolaround 1968-70ish.. I remember him like it was yesterday he had complete control of the playground and gym remember his black sneaker/shoes and whistle was a great guy.i would think of him every so oftenGod Bless him and his long life My highest sympathies eternal prayers

My prayers are with you during this time of loss and grief. May the love you always felt and received together, bring you comfort in the time in your lives.

I had the pleasure of working with Joe for many years at Race Brook School. We shared many recess duties over those years, during which I learned not only was he an outstanding PE teacher, but a compassionate role model to our students; a kind and true gentleman. They all loved and respected him. My deepest sympathy on your loss.

So sad to read this. As an RBS alumni, I have fond memories of Mr. Formato.

Yesterday when I saw this i entered a lengthy message that is not here. IDK why??? Only my 2nd message appeared. I couldn't say enough wonderful things about Joe, wonderful memories from the day we moved in next door 40 yrs ago. He came to our rescue many times. So sorry to see this. We loved your dad and mom. Rick and Susie Aubrey
