Please accept our deepest sympathies, on behalf of the DiMarco family. I enjoyed the conversations I had with the Judge about my family's past and working with him with the land upstate. He had a great sense of humor.

Dear Maryann & Family

It was with deep shock I heard of Joe's passing. I will notify Fr. Chris and we will have a mass here in Florida at Chris's new Parish St. Michael the Archangel in Miami in the near future.

When you feel like give me a call.
Same Number.

With deep sympathy & Love

I would like to send our deepest sympathies to Maryann, Joseph, John and Beth during this very hard time. I will always remember Joe and Maryann coming down to the farm and sitting on the porch with all of us, shooting the breeze, listening to Joe's stories (if he can get a word in edgewise if Uncle Peter is there !) I will always have happy thoughts of him and always remember him as being of good spirit and jovial. Please keep the tradition going by still coming down to us to sit on the porch and talk. Much love Michele, Sal, Michael & Gregory.
