I will never forget Joe we used to drive the work together, and he would sing to the songs on the radio. There´s nobody that I know that have a voice like that I wish I could hear it one more time rest in peace Joe.

What can I say, I am just like Joe was. except I cant sing,I don't have as many friends and I am only a fraction of the family man he was.

God Bless Karen , Nick and Mike.

I'm sure Joe is singing some great tunes in heaven right now.

I was very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. My condolences to his family. Joe was a great guy to know while growing up on Taylor Street. He was always a lot of fun but more importantly he was a fine human being. The old neighborhood guys will surely miss him but will always remember his good spirit.

Joe was the type of guy who wore his heart and soul on his sleeve. You always knew if he was in a good mood or bad mood. When he was happy he would be humming along & singing out loud. We would ask him, who put a quarter in him. Joe always wondered what others thought about him that is because he seemed to want to try to please everyone. Joe had a heart of gold. He used to tell me that only 3 things mean anything to him. His wife, his kids and his job, but I would add a fourth and that would include his friends. He will be missed by all that knew him well

joe was part of our quad at mcmaster carr and i worked next to him for the last 5 years. His heart was as big as he stood tall. i will surely miss the tunes he sung throughout the years.He sure was proud of his italian heritage and the sopranos had nothing on him.

His family was his whole focus. He displayed his boys pictures so proudly upon his desk. I'm sure he will watch over all of you. My sincere sympathy to you Karen and your boys.

we are only a phone call away..

KAREN & BOYS I CANNOT EXPRESS MY SORROW AT THE LOSS OF JOE. HE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND SOMEONE THAT I WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME PASSED. HIS LOVE FOR YOU AND THE BOYS WAS EVIDENT IN HIS CONVERSATIONS AND EXPRESSIONS. HE WAS SOMEONE I ALWAYS CONSIDERED A GREAT FRIEND. HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL. TRULY A LIGHT WENT OUT WITH HIS PASSING. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. SINCERELY, PAM

Joe was a fellow city employee with me before I left in 1986.The only comfort I had in reading his obituary was that he married the love of his life-Karen and had two sons.I will always remember his singing voice and his devotion to his friends.Why does God take all the good people so soon?
