To the entire Lodato family, Our hearts are with you all as you mourn the passing of your husband, father and friend...Joe. He was a wonderful fun loving friend for many decades to all of us.
Although there have many years and in fact decades behind us as Joe taught Jer the ropes back in the '80's. It seems like yesterday we sat at Papa Joes enjoying a wonderful meal together.... just a mere month ago. Joe has played such a big role in the lives of the boys and he will forever be missed. Bev know we are only a phone call away.
May God be with you all.
