I've enjoyed so much reading Joe's books re: his life with Elvis. How sad it is that only Billy Smith, the only original member of the Memphis Mafia and Elvis' cousin, is left. (See all the King's Men's videos.) Jerry Schilling came later.
A very big fan..

Joe was a great guy.. You can really see how much he protected Elvis.. What a shame now there´s only Jerry Schilling left from the Memphis Mafia..They were a wild bunch of guys..RIP

Joe,
I watched your interviews about Elvis Presley over the past four decades to learn that friendship is to be honoured and respected in life. You were a man of immense integrity, discretion and positive values. You are now reunited, in death, with Elvis Presley, your best friend in life.

To Mr Esposito,
Although we never had the chance to meet, I can safely say, you were one of the most genuine friends Elvis ever had, even after Elvis passed away. I never heard you ever once talk poorly of Elvis, when he was alive and even after his death.
Joe, you were a man of integrity, loyalty and kindness. If more people had your kindness, the world would be a better place. Although we never met, I know we would have connected well and would have lots to discuss.
Many thanks to you for being you, your kindness to us and for never talking poorly of Elvis. Bless you, sir. RIP, Joe and Elvis: old friends reunited at last.
Your fan,
Alex

I met Joe back in 1995. He was a special guest in Collingwood Ontario at the Elvis festival. When I heard he was going to be there, I wanted to make sure that I got to talk to him. At the time I was 28, and when I saw him, I froze. I knew that this is the closest I will ever get to Elvis, was meeting joe. I told him how I lost my father in an accident in July 1977 at the same age as Elvis (who died a month later) I told him how my dad had me watching Elvis movies as a child and how I felt lost when my dad and Elvis died. Joe was amazed at my story and we became close throughout the Elvis festival. Our families also originated from Calabria Italy. It seemed we had so much to talk about and never shut me away. Two years later, we connected in Memphis again durning Elvis week. He remembered me and the great time we had in Collingwood. We even went to Marlowes and sat together for dinner. A dream come true for me. I will always remember Joe( he made us Italians proud) being the closest person to Elvis, right to the very end. Thank God I have these nice memories and pictures that I took with Diamond Joe. I miss you Joe and thanks for the memories, we all know that you are taking care of Elvis in heaven

So very sorry Debbie and Cindy on the loss of your dad. Don't know if you remember me, but I went to St. Timothy's with you back in the early 70's, my father Frank Haefeli, who also passed away recently (January this year) use to own Picolo's. My mom Ruth (passed in 2000) also knew your mom and I spent some time after school at your house in Beverlywood. I hope you and your families are well, and again sorry for the passing of your dad.

Thank you Joe for sharing your stories from your chance meeting with Elvis during his Army days and your long friendship with the King of Rock and Roll. It must have been awesome to hang around having fun and be a part of Elvis' life.
We are especially glad you took lots of pictures of your times together. Elvis needed a friend like you. Someone he could trust.
May you both rest in peace.

I met Joe several years ago through his daughter Debbie. Debbie and I were neighbors on Mercer island, WA.
Joe signed one of my Elvis Albums.
I also got a picture of Joe and I.
I told Joe in a note that Elvis's fans loved him, because they knew that he loved Elvis.
Joe was really touched by my note.
Joe was a real classy guy that knew how to get things done.
I know Elvis really loved Joe too.
Rest in Peace Joe.

To Joe's family and friends, I first met Joe at a book singing and gave him and his friend Celine Dion tickets to a show. He will be missed greatly, I pray for all of Elvis fans to try Jesus in your life and give God a chance to help you on your own journey, and go to church next Sunday, you will have a sense of the holy spirit in your life for the first time and let God be in control.

I am so saddened to hear about Joes crossing over. First of all my condolences to his family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss and I hope knowing that its only a temporary separation will provide some small comfort at this time. I can only imagine what Diamond Joe & Elvis are up to at Paradise Hotel, no doubt running the show with Martha by his side. :) I had the unique opportunity of meeting Joe at Westlake studios through a mutual artist friend. It was cool because there in one room was a gathering of some of Elvis's finest posse members, musicians and singers including Ray Walker who was also very kind. It was a historic and surreal experience. Joe radiated charisma and warmth. I remember later sitting with Joe in the studio's kitchen eating pizza, it was just us, he was quiet with his head sort of bowed and thinking, I sensed a sadness in him, I said 'You miss your friend don't you?' he said 'Yes, everyday', it was a very personal moment. We chatted for awhile. And we got to know each other, he was supportive of me as an artist and had wanted to work together which was an honor. God bless you Joe, I enjoyed spending time with you and the rest of the crew, I will never forget it. Thank you for your generosity and guidance. You touched many lives and left the world a better place. May the good Lord keep you and your family always.
You will always be a Diamond.

We had the pleasure of becoming friends with Joe and his beautiful Martha. We travelled together on many great cruises. Joe was a warm hearted gentleman and we loved him.
We last saw Joe at his home in Las Vegas and it was thrilling to see the hundreds of photos around the house and Joe's sharing anecdotes about them.
Rest In Peace
Love Hanna and Bob

I offer my sincere condolences to the family for their loss. As a loyal Elvis fan since the age of 8 years old, it was one of my greatest pleasures in life to meet Joe in September 1991 in El Dorado Hills. It was not hard to see why Elvis formed such a strong bond with Joe as I found him to be a very gracious and engaging man. I spoke to Joe several times since that day at various Elvis related events (2 auctions and a book signing) and he was always very kind.
My heart goes out to the family at this time.

My wife and I were standing in line at the Wynn buffet some years ago. As we got to the front of the line, a gentleman who appeared to be working for the Wynn turned and smiled warmly at us. I immediately knew that it was Joe Esposito, Elvis' former manager. He was busy so I didn't try to engage him in even a small conversation. That's one of the standout moments in my life! Almost as good as coming face to face with the King himself.
Chris

I did not know Mr. Esposito, personally. But anyone can tell he must have been an incredible individual! Although I'm certain he loved his work, it still had to be a massive challenge to handle all of the details of Elvis' personal, and business life.
May God bless the Esposito family.
