Am saddened by the loss of Uncle Joe – As a youngster I visited the printing shop often and Uncle Joe would always take the time to explain how things worked – There wasn’t a kinder , gentler man ever – He’s with our Lord in a place we can’t even imagine – He’s with Auntie Angie – will forever remember the two of them – Bert Siclari

Uncle Joe- you were my godfather and I will always remember spending special time with you and Auntie Angie – going to Abbott- your apartment and then your home in Hamden. I would go to work with Auntie Angie and you would pick us up…special dinner at home and always holidays together at Grandma’s. I always admired the warm, beautiful, and spiritual relationshhip you two shared. In our family- you two were always known as the “love birds.” Thank you for such wonderful memories and love. Now you are at peace and with Auntie Angie and all the rest of our family and of course the Lord. Donna
Uncle Joe, you will always be remembered as a gentle and sweet person. You and Auntie Angie were the perfect couple, always loving and kind to all of us. We have wonderful memories of the Sundays at Grandma's house. Now you and Auntie Angie can hold hands again with the Lord…
