Joseph W Marotta

We were privileged to have known Joe as a personal friend. His generosity, intellect and genuineness leaves a great memory for all. A true gentleman of courage and integrity will be long remembered. Love and thoughts to Edie and family.

Joe was one of those people who quietly affected so many people in a positive manner. I will never forget all our discussions that always taught me how to put things in perspective. We all have lost someone who represents the meaning of the quiet lion.

I met Joe just a few years ago. I was invited to play in the golf group "Joe´s Guys" despite being a poor golfer. Shortly after being in the group I needed chemotherapy treatments and many times didn´t feel well enough to play. Joe encouraged me to come even if I couldn´t finish all 18 holes. He told me I needed to be "tenacious in the pursuit of doing things that I enjoyed!" Joe was a constant example of tenacity to me. He was such a fighter. I always enjoyed being in his presence. He was a source of great encouragement to me!

Joanne and I were so saddened to hear about Joe´s passing. Joe was one of the most gentlemanly and genuine individuals I ever knew. I´m sure he will be deeply missed. Please accept our Most Sincere and Deepest Condolences. May he now Rest In Peace.
Joanne and Tony Ciampa
