Boy, do I miss you, Joe.  It was so much fun hanging out with you and having philosophical discussions with you at Maple Farm.  I am so glad you returned to Confession and Holy Communion.  God bless you, Joe.  Hope to see you again.
Your friend,
Charlie Marrone

Idea,
I’m very sorry to read of your brother’s passing.  I have very fond memories of seeing him when I would come to your home above the Imperial after school. 
Condolences to you, Stella and Toni.
