July 28, 2023 Dear beloved brother, Joey, It´s been 10 years and oh so many tears. But I thank God for the good times and wonderful memories shared. Recently I came across a hilarious 2011 email you sent. It was a humorous story titled "Italian Fire Department". I can just envision you hysterical laughing to yourself knowing how everyone you shared it with was going to enjoy a good laugh as well. You had always been there for me in my ups and downs....

To the Lezza Family - I just heard of your loss. I am very saddened. Rest in peace, Joe.

To the Lezza Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. V. Ricci

“You're the best. You're the greatest. And, I love you.” Those three little sentences are forever etched into my memory. For as long as I can remember that has been the special code between my father and I. One of us would say “You're the best.” The other would answer: “You're the greatest.” And, we would both say “I love you.”

There are some things about my father that I was...

Maria,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Joe worked in my organization at Philips and was a major component of it's success. Joe often talked with me about his cars and, of course, the parts catalogues that went along with owning them. His sense of humor and laugh would make anyone's day. May he find eternal peace.

Joey, my beloved brother
Loved to make us laugh, all the time
We knew when he was about to tell a good joke
His chuckle and goofy grin would be our sign

Here's a funny story, a cherished memory
Even though it's when my quick witted brother
Played a not so nice trick on me

When he confirmed we were safe and unharmed
After my family and I encountered a dangerous...

Maria, I am so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I worked with him at Philips and recall him to have a great sense of humor. I also remember when little Joey came to work with him from time to time and helped us all with making copies and getting us coffee. Joe was always so proud of him. With our deepest sympathy, Fran & Steve Varnum

I worked with Joe at Philips for many years together, in East Rutherford, Hightstown and Somerset. I remember back in the days when one could smoke in the office, the great smell of his pipe tobacco (loved it!). He was a wonderful man. My condolences to your family.
