RIP Dad.. I love you and u left too soon. I will cherish all the memories when I was so young.. like.... he took me to mushroom hunted, walk in woods, carried me upstairs from downstairs, took me to skating rink every weekend, he used to make some kind of salad every single Saturday.. (potato salad, macaroni salad, egg salad, etc...) also missed our chats...

Joe,,, one of the most fascinating, intelligent, teachers we may have ever met.
We will all miss hearing his take on what ever subject comes up.
Just sitting at a table, sharing a meal, would be a mind-opening, get-that-think-about-working, experience.
Yep.... We're missin' that lovin' feelin', too, that radiated from him, as soon as he saw us.
We'll see glimpses of that white hair, & khaki shorts speed walking along the beach....
Thank You, Joe, for touching & expanding SO many lives.

My eyes see poppa Joe ascending to cheer the angels, while my heart will miss him very much.. Words are inadequate to express how this wonderful man changed my life. Dottie you are an amazing woman and have influenced my life in so many ways I can not count them all.. Blessings to you my dear and may you find comfort in all of us that love you both...

Joe, how to describe him, how to say how he touched my life & mind, no words. One of those who breaks the mold. I consider myself blessed to have known him.

Words are not sufficient to describe a man that met you with a smile and greeting and a hg for the last 22 years. Always made strangers welcome and friends loved. Thank you Joe for being in my life
