Nono was very special to me. I thought he would be around forever. I'm glad I got to see him and spend sometime with him on Thanksgiving a couple of years ago.
I'm sorry Nono that I didn't call and visit you more often. You were the best, always joking and laughing, you always made me feel so special. I will never forget you.
Love your first grandchild,

TO ANNETTE:
I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to our wonderful daughter Annette for this beautiful tribute to her Dad and for allowing all those that loved him the chance to share their memories and love in his guestbook.
I would also like to thank everyone that shared their thoughts, memories and prayers, because it means so much to know that so many people loved him as we did.
This will be a wonderful long lasting memory for the entire Bianchi family.
Lots of Love,
Mom

When I was growing up my Dad worked alot and it was my uncles, Johnny and Joe, who always made time for me. They were the ones who horsed around with me and took me fishing. They were never too busy for me and I appreciate that more than I can say. It was Uncle Joe who loved fast cars and introduced me to the thrill of torque. I got my love of fast cars from him and that has not changed as I have grown older. He always had a smile and a joke ready and he never was too busy to spend time with me. I loved him then and love him now. Miss you Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe was in a class by himself. Out of the entire family he was the one who could put you at ease, make you smile and feel welcome like nobody else. He was humble and sweet, sassy and goofy and out of all the family, my absolute favorite. Probably should not admit that but it is true.
You are missed Uncle Joe and you left too soon but you will never, ever be forgotten. You are in our hearts forever

Uncle Joe
It was such a joy to always visit with my Uncle. Instantly, my boyhood would return as we interacted. His ever self-effacing demeanor always tugged at my heart to reach out to him, and then when I did, he was the one who would lift my spirit through his love. He was and is 'family', forever.

MEMORIES OF MY BROTHER JOE:
The good far outweighs the bad. Joe had a good heart. He was always ready to help anyone that needed him. There are way to many fond memories to mention in this note. I will truly miss you Joe.
John
I remember the first time I ever saw Joe. It was at the grocery store in Lakeside. He came in with Mama. She was in her overalls because she had just finished milking the cows. Joe was with her and he was such a cute, scrawny little guy. It wasn't until years later that I met and married his brother John. From that moment on he was always "Little Joe" to me. We love him and miss him terribly.

REMEMBERING JOE:
I loved my brother Joe so much. He was always joking around and kept everyone laughing. He was so kind and thoughtful, always ready to help anyone that needed him. I am so happy that he found Shelly to be his wife. She made him so happy with her love. I miss him very much.
Your loving sister,
Hilda

Joe...It's hard to believe that it has already been over a year since your passing. Though you may be gone physically, you live on in our thoughts and in our hearts. I didn't get the chance to know you for very long, but you touched my heart with your loving kindness. The following quote best describes my feelings: "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never, ever the same." Bill and I will forever have your footprints in our hearts.

Dad it has been a year since we said “goodbye” to you.
I finally listened to all those voice messages you left on my phone. I'm so glad I have them. Bill made a copy for Mom so she can listen to your voice whenever she feels the need.
I wanted you to know that we are all here for Mom, and if she ever needs anything, my Joe and I are here for her; so you don't need to worry.
I'm so glad we got the chance to spend time with you over the years, you always made me laugh.
I love you Dad!

Dearest Joe,
How very much we miss you dear friend. When we think of you we see that beautiful smile that engulfs your face and shines through your eyes. You and Shelly are our longest, dearest friends and always will be! We've had so many great times together. Even the smallest things are great memories because of you and your great personality. Like going for a walk and the contest to see who found the most money. Usually only pennies! Of course Shelly is still the best at this. She had lots practice with you. Great friends, great times, wonderful forever memories! You will live in our hearts forever. When we are with Shelly, you will be there. We might look like three friends to others but to us you will always be there with us. So until we meet again, we love you dear friend and keep smiling.
Our love always, Judi & Don Etheridge

TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE:
Dear Joe:
I can't believe it has been one year already since your passing. As it turned out it was "Easter Sunday" this year and so I took that as a good thing. Even though Easter falls on a different day each year I thought it was special that this year it fell on April the 8th, and I truly love that. It made you a more important part of celebrating the meaning of Easter for me.
I can't tell you how much I miss you being the most important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I guess it probably isn't a good thing that one person be the main focus of all you do on a daily basis, but for me you were my life and everything I did was with you and for you.
The best thing that I have left is our beautiful children and all of our wonderful family and dear friends. Without that I would have nothing. I am so grateful that our children have wonderful families that love them also because they are hurting and miss and love you as much as I do.
Even though I will have to find a way to go on with the few years I have left of my life it will be the most difficult thing that I have ever done. I will love you forever and will never forget how happy you made life for me.
Your Loving Wife - Shelly

Dad,
I miss you very much. I always knew if I ever needed anything, all I had to do was pick up the phone and call, and you would be there for me. I still have those thoughts all the time, it just takes a second to realize I can't "just call" anymore, yet your number still remains on my phone. Thank you for being such a wonderful dad and for saying "I love you" at the end of every conversation. I will never forget how happy you always were to visit and spend time with family. You will always be very special to me and I will always love you very much.
Your son,
Joseph

Dear Joe,
I wanted to tell you how very much I always admired the sweet, wonderful man you were to everyone that knew you. So kind, so caring, & so cute about everything. Just to be in your presence brought peace & relief from whatever ones trials were at the time. Your family was blessed beyond words to have you as part of their lives, & they were all so very aware of what a blessing you were. You are and always will be missed terribly. Rest in peace dear Joe, and thank you for your friendship!
With love,

Uncle Joe,
You were one of the greatest, hardest working, men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I'll never forget all of things you taught me, and how excited I was each and every time we were going to go and visit you, and the family! You never complained about anything, and were always willing to listen to anybody else problems. You never judged anybody, no matter what their problem was. I thought about you all day yesterday, and kept telling everybody about all the wonderful stories we shared together. You will never be forgotten, your love for every family member still runs deep in each and every one of us!

Uncle Joe passed five months after his oldest sister, my mom, Julia. We were blessed to have time with him before and during her illness, and again at her death. Many years had gone by when we were not in touch with him as we should have been. I think it was a miracle that we came together before it was too late. I loved Uncle Joe, and thank God I was able to tell him so. Shelly's advice at his funeral, to tell the people you love that you love them everyday, is now a part of my routine. I am far away from my family, but to all of them, I love you,
Cindy.

Joe Bianchi was a great man. He was always a patient and loving person. I remember when I first me the family, I did not get off to a very good start. I looked and acted a bit strange. Joe did everything he could to make me feel comfortable. I will remember that he looked passed that and made me feel at home. Then through the years we grew closer and developed a great relationship. We would laugh and joke around together.
He was a very special person that will have a permanent place in my heart. He is dearly missed and I hope to soon meet up with him in Heaven.

This will be our first Fathers Day without Dad. Each time I see a commercial about Fathers Day on TV, I start to cry. I miss Dad so much. I didn't realize how painful it would be to not have him in my life. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Dad. I hope you know how much I loved you.

Even though I had only known Joe for not quite a year, I learned he was a very good and kind man who I had come to think of and love as part of my family. He always made me feel welcomed whether it was in his home playing cards or away at a family function. I wish I could have had many more years to spend with him and get to know him better. I will truly miss him!

My dad was a great person. He was not only my dad, he was my best friend. We had a lot of great times together. I loved helping him whenever he needed it. I always enjoyed our times at the Ag Show each year. He is going to be deeply missed. I think of him everyday and how he taught me over the years that hard work pays off. He never stopped working up to the very end. I hope I made him proud to be his son. I love and miss you dad.

Uncle Joe was such a special person. When I was new to the family and afraid I would never "fit in", Joe made me feel so welcome. He always had a smile and a joke and he was one of the most important men in John's life. We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and he lives on in the many memories we have of him. Praying you are remembering how important he was and what a blessing he was to so many. You are in our prayers daily.

Joe was a very big part of my life as a child and many of my most fond memories include the Bianchi family. He was a wonderful man, father, husband and grandfather, and friend to many. He is now with others who passed before him, including my dad who loved him very much. I am sure they are having a blast once again! Joe will be missed by many and I am grateful to have known him.
