I remember Joe as my roommate during our freshman year at Boston University. It was obvious Joe was going places as he worked very hard to excel and was a most decent human being. I will never forget him

Dr. Joe will be sadly missed.. His generosity in keeping my daughter Leah Anne in his home until her death was more than could be asked of any man.
Sadly I missed calling him on the Vernal Equinox, ( The first day of Spring) that fell on Palm Sunday this year. He called me last year as was our way of knowing we had survived one more winter.
I also Worked along side his late brother Dr.Jules and watched over his patients trough Hospital Recovery long years ago .. As Dr. Jules would say, "We just do our best to give people another few years before the inevitable end brings them home to the Lord"..
Dr. Joe is now joining Jules and my daughter Leah Anne on this Easter week. He knew this was coming and chose his time well. He will be sadly missed by our extended family, My condolences to His Sister and all his nephews and nieces..
Jesus said just before his Sacrifice. " He who beliveth in me, believes in MY Father, and shall never die, for there will come a day when we will all be joined in the light of the Lord Father of us all, and rejoice in our new birth in Heaven.
Dr. Joe has gone to join those before him. May he rest without pain and in the Joy of the Resurrection. He who brought light to his patients will have the light of the Lord shine Upon him in eternal life.

My condolences to the Migliori family and to Anna on the passing of Joey. My fondest memories of Joe go back to when we were three years old as ring bearer and flower girl in Auntie Etta and Uncle Angelo's wedding. I would see Joey intermittently throughout the years and he was always a gracious gentleman. I am so glad to have had a picture taken with Joe at our CHSE 50 year reunion. I will pray for the repose of his soul daily.
