Words cannot express the heartache we have over the loss of our beloved neighbor, friend and Papa. Even though we were neighbors, we were family. He treated our daughter as his own grandchild. We are so glad we were able to make many memories with Joe. You will be forever missed, and forever in our hearts. Rest in peace Papa Joe, we love you.

Joe was a constant visitor in his teenage years at our house. He was always just hanging out with us. Always nice, funny and happy! Later on in life I ran into him and his wife at a Club, Still the same ole´ Joe! Tony Sr and the entire DeVitis families, I´m so sorry for your loss. You have my Deepest Sympathy.
