I am so heartbroken to have lost my best friend. I will miss our wonderful conversations. Joe was a very wise man. Spoke about his Beautiful daughter, that he loved so dearly. He often spoke about his grandfather that he Adored and missed. “And the Italian ways.” Joe had a lot of friends from Beach & Tennis Club in Bonita Beach Fl. and will be missed by everyone that new him. Joe’s compassionate for seniors citizens in this community was greatly appreciated.
Joe, I’m going to remember all our great memories that we had together.
And I know that you are with your father and your grandfather in heaven.
Until we meet again Rest In Peace my dearest Joe. ❤️
We enjoy going to the restaurants together. I will greatly miss you. Love Anna
