I first met Joe as I was about to catch a flight when I heard someone shout Donna!
I turned around and saw Vibiana waving me down. She and Joe were at the same airport catching a flight to go somewhere too. That's my first time meeting Joe. Ever since that time whenever I called Vibiana and he would pick up the phone, he would tell her Donna from Califirnia is calling you. It was fun talking to him over the phone until Vibi got on. Their marriage is the highlight of everlasting love. They always did things together whether it was taking care of the garden or yard or going into town to shop. They always had dinner together for Vibi cooked what Joe liked to eat and she cooked better than a restaurant.
May God bless the Cardarelli family keeping them safe and surrounding them with His Love to heal their hearts.
Sending much love and hugs to Vibiana, Joey and Christina and the Liu family.

I met Joe in Wisconsin in 1966, while he was dating my sister. Both were in the Chemistry Department at University of Wisconsin.
He was a cool guy. He was smart and
We visited him years later at Allentown. He was hospitable, took us to a park and served us a steak dinner. He loved to talk about sports and US foreign relations. And he always had an opinion about everything, and never shy away from any controversial topics.
Joe was a family man, and did everything he could to take care of his family. We will miss him.

In memory of Joseph Cardarelli, beloved husband of my aunt Vibi, whose presence will be deeply missed. Although I didn’t have the chance to know him closely, it is clear how much he was cherished by those around him. The life he shared with my aunt is a lasting testament to love and devotion, and will be remembered with great respect. May he rest in peace.

Joseph was a loving husband of my sister Vibiana. He worked hard all his life, and provided well for his family. My sister devoted her care for Joseph, to her best ability, to his end. He will be remembered. May he rest in peace.
