I had the pleasure of working with Joe at the Chestnut Hill P.O. for many years. Endlessly talked music. Joe was truly a Renaissance man. He will be missed.

My Uncle Sonny was special to me, not only as a child but as I grew I always loved and respected him for who is was and being the ultimate optimist. He was my mothers baby brother and my Godfather. They are all at rest now Grandpa, Grandma, Peter, Theresa, Nick, Olympia, George, Elvira, and now Joseph(Sonny). Rest in peace until we all meet again.

Dad, Never born and never died. He just visited here for 85 years. We are all visitors. God is forever our absolute source. Everything in between is an illusion. There is no reality in illusion. The only reality is our real source, God. Dad was Aware of everything said above. Try to understand this, your bodily existence with its own separate identification which we refer to as ' I am' is temporary ' illusory and non existent. We are all one with God, which has no Identification attached. We simply return back to the same reality before the body was born.
