Dearest Toni and Joey, I just found out about Dr. Joe's passing. I am so sorry to learn of such a terrific loss. Words can not express my admiration for his gentleness and your intense love in the care and enjoyment of the life you shared. The heavens opened the day you came into his life. I don't think he loved or trusted anyone like you, he adored you. You will be in my thoughts, heart, and prayers that your dear memories will sustain you and Joey in enduring this deep grief. I treasure all the times we were together...I know you will be reunited in the next life. The Bible guarantees this. Love and hugs, Karen

Sorry to hear of your loss! It has been a very long time since
we saw Joe and his family may not even remember our connection.
We are first cousins and Joe was instrumental in having my brother,
Carmine, attend St. Francis College. I went to college with his brother, Johnny at Pitt. Again, our sincere condolences, Pat and Freddy Ann Mastandrea of Pinehurst, NC.
