I grew up with Joe on East 4th St. along with his brothers, Jim and Eddie, and sister Shirley. I made many a service call with Joe and his Dad to deliver TVs and render repairs. I remember the first time I saw TV when Joe's Dad installed a big antenna right beside their house. We watched movies in the front yard as Mr. Z previewed them before taking them to the Grange Fair. I knew Joe was going to follow in his Dad's footsteps because he was his "shadow" from his early teens on anything electrical or sound related. My deepest condolences to Joan and the family. He was a great and smart man.

My deepest condolences to all of you. From my view, he was an incredible, positive light in the world -- in my experience, he was always up beat, and unbelieveably funny -- I'm smiling now thinking about him! Know that he'll always be with you, and that you can access him anytime you want. He will live on in the memories of more people then you can even imagine.

We are so sorry to learn of Joe's passing. Please accept our sincere sympathy. Joe will be greatly missed not only as a great sound man but also as a kind man with a wonderful smile. I know he and my late dad [Dean Fetterolf ] will now have a great time remembering their days together at the great Grange Fair!!!!! Let all your wonderful memories give you all comfort now and in the days to come.
Sincerely Fran
Expression of Sympathy

I have such fond memories from my childhood of spending time with all of you - swimming, riding horses, on snow mobiles or at the race tracks. A new angel is now is heaven. Those we love who pass away live on in us through our memories and our character.

My condolences,
Linda Santinoceto and Family
