Dear Karen , Sylvia , family:
Please acccept my sincere condolences on the sudden and sad passing of my cousin J.J. Growing up as a kid, some of my fondest memories were going to Greenwood Av. after mass, and seeing our relatives. Even though i was a few years younger than J. he would always make time for me....and that made me feel special, we would eventually shoot his stupid BB rifle off of Aunt Anns' roof, which of course made my day.When he put his hand on my shoulder as my Godfather the day i was confirmed,also made my day. Godspeed J.J., i'm sure your mom and dad were there to hold your hand so you would have no fear, now you can rest in peace with your family, and our Lord.

Sincerely,Donald Bondi

To Karen and all of Joe's family,

Joe was a wonderful neighbor and friend, one of the nicest people we have ever known. There are so many things we will miss about Joe - meeting up with him and Wrigley on our dog walks in the very early morning and talking about the courtyard garden at the Hedgerow are just two. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jane and Shelly Stolowich
