Love and miss you Joe. I miss your sparkle!

I remember Joe as a pure kind soul. Always with a smile on his face and a joy of living. For him, family was everything. Exemplary husband, father and grandfather. He always be remembered in our prayers.
Rest in Peace dear friend and brother-in-law 🙏🏼

Dearest Isabel -  the world will be a little less shiny without dear Joe. I have many good memories of times spent with your whole family, and although the circle will be a little smaller, Joe will still be watching over every party and every milestone your kids and grandchildren experience. He will be kissed, but not forgotten. 

Dear Adele and family
We used to meet Joe on Saturdays during our regular visits for a coffee and 'snack' - we always remember him with a smile on his face.  We are so sorry for your loss - and wish you comfort in your memories.  Our deepest condolences - Alfy, Jani, David, Michael, Anastasia, Alex and Marcus Constantini.

"Joe was like an Uncle to me. I remember spending Christmases, holidays, and celebrating family milestones with Joe and the family, whether he was telling jokes, or telling me how much I've grown up right in front of him, he always had a smile to share. Even as I grew older, Joe continued making memories that I hold dear, as I'll never forget he led the conga line at my wedding, and I was so thankful that he brought such joy and excitement to the evening, just like he did everywhere he went. Rest in Peace, Joe."  (Pina)


"I had the privilege to meet Joe over the years at numerous family functions. I remember his beaming smile, hilarious remarks, but most of all, his love of family. His joie de vivre left an impression on me, and he will be truly missed."  (Ben)

Condolences to Joe’s family.  I worked with Joe at MSC SD 41 for a number of years.  Joe always had a joke and often his contagious laughter could be heard before he reached the punch line.  He always  left you smiling.  Rest In Peace Joe.  Gone but not forgotten.

When I think of Joe, I remember a smiling, happy man who always had a joke or story to tell. Whenever I saw him, he made me laugh, and he made everyone around him feel good. He was full of joy, and full of love. God bless Joe.

Our deepest condolences to all the Marraffa family.  There are no words for such a great loss.  Joe's zest for life, infectious humour and most of all, his great commitment to his family are all the qualities we remember and admired about him.  May God guide all of his family during this very difficult time.  Sending prayers to everyone.

Very sorry to hear. Rest in Peace. Sincere condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences. Joseph you will be 
Missed. May you rest in peace 
Wishing the family strength and love at this time of sorrow 

My Zio Joe was an amazing man. A character in his own kind and always the life of the party! Always willing to help and was one of the kindest and most loving guy I know. Loved by many.....You will be deeply missed and your legacy will live on.
Love you Zio 🖤 
Till we meet again 🙏

I will never forget your contagious laugh, your love for 'al fresco' dinners, growing your vegetable garden, cutting your grass, and making wine!
But above all, I will never forget how you welcomed me with open arms into your family and treated me like a daughter. Thank you for always taking care of us.
I miss you so much!

Dad, I want you to know how good of a role model you were.  Your endless and unconditional love for Mom and your boys will always be an example for me to follow with my own family.  You were always there for me no matter what. I can’t count how many times I asked something of you and you never hesitated.  From teaching me everything  there is to know about maintenance and repair of a house to giving me and my friends safe rides home countless times.  I will love you always and miss you so much already.  

Dear brother  We are like the branches of a tree; we may grow in different directions but our roots remain as one. Joe, you’ll be dearly missed but I will take comfort in all the memories and laughter we shared. So this not an Adieu but  rather Au Revoir. I will surely missed your Sunday morning visits for espresso 😘🙏

I had the privilege working with Joe in the Electrical Department MSC SD41. 
Joe was full of positive energy, hard worker and well liked colleague. I will always remember Joe’s professional approach to work, upbeat attitude and many good times we shared. 
Joe will be greatly missed. 

A toi Joe,
La dernière fois que nous nous sommes vues, c'était durant nos vacances respectives en Italie....
Nous garderons en mémoire ta joie de vivre, ta compation, et ton amour pour ta famille.
Aujourd'hui, tu as retrouvé tous ceux que tu aimes dans une vie meilleure.
Delphine et toute la famille de Lorraine.

Joe will always be remembered for his love of dancing and for his love for his grandchildren
