Whenever I think of Joe, a smile comes to my face. He was a generous, fun-loving guy, a joy to be around, unpredictable, totally unprecedented, spontaneous and almost reckless,
simply one of a kind. "If one is more than enough, 10 would be better," as Joe would say.

May his spirit live on through the next generation...and the next!

My deepest sympathy to all the Rallo Family. Joe Rallo was a unique and caring man. To have known him was a true pleasure. I always told him that when he passed it would be because of an "enlarged heart". RIP dear FRIEND
