It was a pleasure to know such a kind person. I spoke with Joe briefly recently at a bank kiosk when he recognized me at the next kiosk. He was so full of life. Heaven will love him even though we will miss him. Peace, my friend, and say hello to Jack.

My sincere condolences to Joe’s family & his many friends. I knew Joe through John Hancock back in the 70’s & 80’s. Once you knew Joe, he wasn’t someone easily forgotten. He was so much fun, had lots of energy & always a sparkle in his eyes.
God bless you Joe. There is no doubt that you are making heaven a better place to be.
Sadly,

Bridget and family,
We are so shocked and heart broken to learn of Joe’s passing. He was a GREAT man who will be deeply missed! There isn’t an Italian lodge or an Italian in RI who won’t feel Joe’s passing in some way. We had so much fun setting those books!! Joe was always on his game!
May God welcome Joe home to Heaven!!
Love, Jim and Tom / Hopkins Press

It's with deep sorrow and distressing sentiments, that we learn of the sudden passing of your beloved, JOSEPH FLORIO, Jr.

Joe was a treasurer to speak with, a tremendous asset to our community, a loyal and model citizen of America, a fountain of knowledge for the great organization - Order of Sons & Daughters of Italy in America, the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island and its local Vince Lombardi Lodge - and an outstanding friend to all you knew him.

We extend our deepest heartfelt feelings of consolation, remembrance and honor to Joe's family, friends and comrades in the Name of the True Risen LORD ~ Amen - Alleluia!.

With Faithful Fondness,

Jack Lancellotta & Family
