To my dear papa, 

Thank you for being the best papa I could have ever asked for in life, your unwavering kindness, love, loyalty, and of course empathy will continue to flow through me as my life continues. Although we are separated by heaven and earth I know that pieces of you will walk with me and the rest of our family throughout our lives. Even though you are no longer here in the physical, I find fragments of you still here with me in the form of my nonna, my auntie, my uncles, my sisters, and my cousins. Thank you very large (stealing your joke here) for showing not only our family but your friends what it means to truly be loved and cared for, we all love you just as much back.❤️
With love, 
Your granddaughter julia

Dad, I am forever grateful. Thank you for showing me what a devoted husband and loving father looks like. Thank you for a wonderful childhood filled with lots of love and laughter.  You often said it was your greatest honor and pleasure to be our father. Well dad, to be your daughter has been my greatest honor and pleasure. We will miss you immensely and love you always.
Love,
Sheryl, Frank, Lauren and Paul, Lindsey, and Julia

Mr. Federico
Our condolences to you and your family

I have tones of memories, and only good ones,  with Joe during the occasions we have been able to visit each other! 
I'm so glad having been able to be present recently to share family moments once again!

My deepest condolences to your family. He was such a wonderful man. I loved when he came into the Dairy and I was working. He always had a great story and was so pleasant to all of us That were working there!!

I had a great time with my great aunt and uncle when I visited them in Hartford during 2017 summer. They are welcoming, smiling people who are always ready to share good times.
I remain in awe of the person Joe was, his kindness, his commitment to the U.S. Army, which brought him to Metz in France, but also of his willingness to pass on his story, his experiences and his passions to the people around him. I enjoyed sharing moments in Hartford such as his personalized tour of the Connecticut State Capitol, the Pratt & Whitney Hangar Museum, his friends' apple orchards or a race car garage. I also enjoyed sharing his journey to gather family memories.
Many thanks again for these moments Joe,

Dear aunt Yvonne and all my cousins, we are so sorry for your loss, Uncle Joe was always so kind to us and always had a smile and made us laugh. The last time I spoke to him he told me the most important thing in life is family and that he was so thankful for all of you.  We are thinking of you and praying for all of you during this difficult time, we love and miss you all, Love, Jim and Melissa Even
