There are people we encounter in our lifetime that stand out and Joe was one of those people! He appreciated people that worked hard and was not afraid to speak his mind. I loved his way with the children that would sometimes come to the office and he always spread the Christmas cheer. My thoughts and prayers are with the Scaturro family at this time. Thank you, Joe, for the memories!

Dear cousin,
We haven't seen each other in nearly thirty year but I often think of you. I am grateful that you helped me with my grade school homework. I remember when you got that new gold Pontiac Bonneville convertible and paid me 10 cent to help wash it. I remember the drives out to Franklin Square with the top down and going past the World's Fair. Peace to you.

Love, Saverio Scaturro and Family
Uncle Joe and Gina Scaturro,

I am glad to have had the opportunity to know and work with Joe. He had a big Heart. He believed in me and challenged me to get my license, even when I was ready to give up on it all and change careers. Thank you. My kids still talk about their encounters with him whenever they were at the office. He left a lasting impression on all of us and he will always be remembered….. Kimberly Andrews and family…

My family will always be gratefull to Joe, I met Joe over 20 years ago, and he always treated me and my family as if we were family. He had a huge heart and he was always there when I needed him. I will forever have a special place in my heart for Joe because he was and will always be to me a very dear friend. My only regret is that I was not able to see him just one more time to tell him how greatful I was to know him, and more importantly how greatful I am to have him as a friend. I will really miss him. I wont say good bye, I will say I will see you later my friend, I know your in a better place. With Love Geady Gonzalez and the entire family...
