Joe, you left us way too soon.. You had so much more of life to live. I cannot articulate in words how much you meant to me and how very much you’ll be missed I feel blessed that your neices have so many great memories of you and had great times with you! You loved them like your own children and you loved us all too!
You were my older brother and I always looked up to you. You were always there for me, sometimes offering me advice and sometimes just there to listen.
We’ll go on living because we have to but life will never be the same without you. “Cradle to grave” my brother!
I Love you always and we’ll save you a seat at the table! Rest in Peace JoeMike
I don’t know where to even begin to say how deeply JoeMike’s presence in our daily lives will be missed. When I first married into the Siracuse family it was evident Joe was the leader of the family (me included now). His presence was felt and heard in the room no matter the occasion. And to be honest at first I thought “oh boy this is not going to go well no one is the boss of me’’. But it quickly became apparent that every move Joe made was out of love for his family. And if I did not already know it before it was quickly felt in my heart the second my daughter was placed into Uncle Joes arms. His 4 nieces were his whole world. He never missed a birthday, holiday, play, chorus, etc. And not only was he there, but he was there early getting the best seat and taking pictures. On Halloween when kids were little he would drive all the way across town to make sure he saw all four of them dressed up. When I ended up unexpectedly in the hospital one day Joe rushed to our house waiting to make sure the girls got off the bus safe. It happened to be a dance night, so there were 4 girls getting off the bus that day. He gave them snacks, did homework and got them off to dance. I love Pete, but not even sure he would of handled that as gracefully as Joe did. As soon as the girls were old enough he started taking them to the theater to make sure they were exposed to the arts at a young age. He loved to cook and enjoyed every second of teaching his nieces Italian dishes. I would take back every angry word of the mess made and lay down and make snow angles out of all that flour on my floor just to have him back in my kitchen! I could go on and on about how loving Joe was. He loved to debate and rile you up……but that crooked smile he gave you would always make you laugh in the end. There are no words to describe the pain Joes passing has left Pete, Sandy and the rest of us. To say it feels like a part of our body is missing is an understatement. Our heart are broken and will never fully heal from his loss. I love you JoeMike !!!
