Fred, Joe and Family,

I know words cannot take away the pain, or make your heart feel any lighter, but please know that although you cannot see your dad, he will always live within your heart and the hearts of those who loved him. Everyone that met Joe knew how proud he was of his family, especially his grandchildren. Alex and Deanna will miss grandpa dearly, but I promise they will never forget how much grandpa loved them. His pride in his grandchildren was clear to all. Everyone knew Grandpa Joe, he was the guy sitting in his chair on the 3rd base line down Sacramone park watching his grandson. Rain, shine or scorching heat, grandpa Joe was there, always wearing Alex''s teams hat. Joe your family will miss you, but we know others are rejoicing and welcoming you home. Rest Peacefully, till we meet again.

As ssd as it is for everyone here, for those he is with now in Heaven, there must be a lot of rejoicing!

Fred and Joey,
Both Tyler and I want to offer you our sincere condolences on the loss of your father. He was a wonderful caring, family man who was very proud of all of his family from his son's to his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Also, the love that he gave to my mom was beyond life itself. What a great man that was lost and I want to extend our prayers for you while you get through this difficult time. I only wish I could be there although I have moved down to North Carolina and do not have the means to make it back up there right now. God Bless...

Uncle Joey,

I was so proud to have you as my Uncle. I have such fond memories of you. Although we did not see each other that often, my conversations with you made up for that. You lifted my spirits when I was down, and always made me feel like everything would be ok. My fondest memory of you was on my wedding day. You and Janet came up to NY for the wedding. When I came down the steps for the first time in my wedding gown, you and Janet were the first to see me. I never forgot the look on both of your faces. You were both proud and happy, and I was thrilled that you were able to share my special day with me. You were also a great Brother to my Dad. Wherever he lived in Florida, you always managed to visit and call him often. He would get excited when you and Janet were coming to visit, and he would always prepare his famous lasagna and cheesecake. I know you guys had great times together, and he cherished that. Uncle, May You Rest in Peace with Aunt Netta, Grandma and Grandpa, Your Brothers, George and Sonny, and Janet. Love You Always, Your Niece Camille
