As an old friend I wish you love ... Angel, Joe's love for you and your sons doesn't end ... it gets even stronger now. Don't just pray for him ... pray to him for strength. With sincere sorrow ...

I am so sorry for your loss.Mr. Pecora was a friend to all and a second father to all of us kids. The last time I saw him he didn't want to let Amanda and I take our new puppy home . He wanted it for himself! I will miss his big smile and his "HI BABE" most of all. You are in my heart and prayers always....

Love Angela

Angel, Joe & Rose, Mike & Phayth, Anthony & Addisyn,

and all of Pecora family,



I know there's nothing I can say

To make your heartache go away

Remember all the fun you had

Remember he wouldn't want you to be sad

Remember all the things he used to do

Remember all the things you made him do

Remember now remember then

You'll never be alone again.



(Always remember with smile)



I am very saddened with Joe's passing. he made a lot of friends throughout the years. He will be missed by many. Just wanted to let you know that we love you all and are here when you need us most.
