Joseph

SORCE


Joseph Sorce passed away on February 10, 2008 in the comfort of his home. Born January 2, 1941 he was 67 years young. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Sherrie Sorce; his sons, Joseph Sorce, Jeffery Sorce, Michael Cohen, Curtis Lindeman; his daughters, Lisa Sorce and Carie Sorce; and his grandchildren, Krista, Anthony, Breeanna, Michael, Ryan, Zachary, Shayne, Zackery, Joseph, Austin, Isaiah and Lee.

Joe was a great man, a devoted wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was loved by all that he touched. Adored by his friends and neighbors. He taught us all about love, respect and discipline. He was a devoted and proud participant in Hot August Nights for 15 years, with his 1939 Chevrolet Sedan, his second most treasured possession, his first being his family.

You will be greatly missed, forever loved and in our hearts forever.

Papa I am thinking of you today (as I often do). I wonder how different life would be if both you and my son were still here....but it was not to be. You both completed your journies and now the rest of us must work on completing ours. Just wanted to say that you are not forgotten and still sorely missed.

Our prayers go out with the Sorci Family in this difficult time. We know Joe will be starting his own car club in Heaven, and looking down on all of us with a big smile.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Papa, you left us too soon. I will remember you as a man with a big heart, always ready to lend a hand. You were constantly on the go, relentlessly trying to stay busy, never stopping to rest. I would say rest in peace, but for some reason I don't think you are resting. I think you took on the job as Mike's pit crew chief at the big racetrack in the sky......

You will truly be missed.

Words cannot express the way we feel, Joe was not only my best friend, he was like a brother, an uncle to my kids and a friend who will be missed very much. I will miss our talks sitting at the car shows and in the garage. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Rest in peace friend. We love you.
