Condolence: I’m just finding out tonight that Joe passed away I met Joe in 2009 while I was working at stop and shop I was working in the bakery when joe came over looking for some pastries I helped him and we got to talking for almost a hour he was such a nice man my wife is half Italian half Turkish and joe told me he was from Italy that one of his sisters still lived there he would go and visit her I knew he had bad knees that he was supposed to have surgery he would always be in the store and we would talk almost every time if I were working I always wanted to try his sauce he would talk about he gave me his phone number I’d call him here and there just check in see how he was doing I left stop and shop but would still keep in touch and I’d see him out shopping I tried to contact him around summer 2017 but his phone number was disconnected I’m sorry that he has passed I would like to visit his grave at the cemetery in the next few weeks god bless you joe love you like a great friend
