I can't believe it will be a year already. How I wish I could see you come down the street in that brand new truck of yours just one more time. My memories and missing you will live on in my heart forever.

My Dear Friend, You have been on my mind so much lately. Time has not made it any easier. On this Valentine's Day I will think of all the hearts you touched [including mine] while you were here [as you would say] on this ball of mud. Miss you buddy.

Dear Patty and Diane.
So sorry for your loss. Joe was a great class mate and friend. Stayed in touch for years after. He made school bearable. He lit up the room especially when he said, " Chivy chivy coco bop is here." Will never forget that. He just had a way to make people happy. Heaven has another Angel from the class of 73. Rest in Peace old friend.

Dear Diane, Pat, and the whole family,
We are so sorry to hear about our beloved Joe´s passing.
He was a wonderful,caring, generous, and compassionate person and friend. All you would have to do is ask for anything, and he was right there to help you.
He helped my beloved aunt when she was very sick, and when my cousin needed help taking care of her, he did not hesitate. Since my mother lived with my aunt, Joe would help her also, if she needed anything.
It is so very hard to believe that he is not with us here physically, but he is here with us spiritually. I will remember all the great memories, he has left us. He will be truly missed by me.
Joe, be there for me when it is my time to pass. We will see each other again, have more laughs, more hugs, and our friendship will never end.
God, hold my beloved Joe in your precious arms forevermore. He was so special to our family, and always will be.
Love you, Joe,
Mary Elaine and Joe Corallo
