Joey moved in to my neighborhood when he started the 9th grade at Serra High School.

The friendship started in front of my parents' home on Bryce Ave pitching pennies.

We all know Joe as ACE, due to his eagle eye on the basketball courts.

We experienced his knee surgeries, cigarettes burns in my mother's carpet, marriage, children and a million laughs as only Joe Caselli could generate.

Farwell my dear dear friend.

We will all miss you and I think of you often

What a Fantastic, Great, and Kind man Joe was. I knew Joe as an awesome athlete, supportive friend, loving family man, who was Vibrant, Optomistic, Full of Life, and always a quick wit! He had a heart of gold and and generosity to match. Our lives were enriched by him. We will always remember and cherish great memories and times with Joe! Our thought and prayers are with his beautiful daughter, and terrific grandsons of whom he was very proud of. God bless your family. We will always remember you, the happy times,
and support that you gave us all. Enjoy your well deserved time in heaven and,the angels playing! We are fortunate to have known you!

I have not seen Joe for many years, the last time at a Serra reunion probably 15 years ago. I remember him so well, playing football with him at Serra, and him kicking my as in grade school in basket ball when I went to OLA. He was a fantastic guy and was great to chat with when I saw him, like we saw each other yesterday. May God bless his soul, I will never forget him and always will pray for him

John and Family, I was saddened to hear of Joe's passing. I will always remember him as a thoughtful and fun guy. Always remembering your family members and wanting to know how everyone was. And of course Joe was a character who would always leave you smiling. God Bless.

The entire Caselli family has been so nice to me. I first met Joe as a young Man living next door to my Aunt, we then worked together for many years at QFI. Lots of stories to be told. We've remained friends for over 40 years and I'm really going to miss his candor and our lively phone conversations. I am deeply saddened, My sympathy is with the family at this time.
