Joseph "Joey" Michael Caldarola

A Tribute from his Mom & Dad:

On Tuesday, August 12th, our world was shattered when our son, Joey, was called to heaven.

He was a bright spot in this world every day, as he brought a kindness to all who have crossed his path.

He was pure of heart, non-judgmental, kind, polite, and compassionate. He loved family and friends completely, and loved his dog, Nyla, whom he rescued.

He loved riding his motorcycle as it gave him a sense of freedom from his daily grind. He loved his job at Publix and the people there, and was looking forward to his weekly soccer games with his co-workers. He played Xbox with his childhood friends from Long Island - we could hear him laughing in his room. He loved the outdoors and sunsets by the beach, all animals, and to throw out a fishing line.

Most of all, he loved his times with his big brother, Jonathon, sister-in-law Veronica, and his Godson, LJ.

Joseph, you were Loved by all the people you touched, and you will be missed.

Say hello from us to MeMa, PopPop, and Tita, and hug Champ when you get to heaven.

Love you.

Joe has joined his grandparents, Nicholas, Madeleine, and Gladys "Tita"; and his long time babysitter, Virginia "Aunt Ginny", as he entered eternal rest.

He is survived by his dad, Joseph Sr., and mom, Nancy; brother, Jonathon S. Rodriguez, with sister-in-law, Veronica, and nephew/Godson, Jonathon James; his grandfather, “Wello”; and his fur-baby, Nyla.
