My Uncle Joe was one of the sweetest and most sincere family Catholic men I have ever known. His kindness and faith were a guiding light for all of us. I am deeply saddened for the family, especially for Bunny, but I find solace in knowing that he was blessed to have such a wonderful life and family. Uncle Joe was my mother’s favorite, and I take comfort in knowing that she is in heaven to greet him. “The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” – Proverbs 20:7

My heartfelt condolences to Bunny and the Ricciardi family. Joe was truly a gentleman and will be remembered, especially the last year or so every Saturday night going to Mass with you Joe and our little chats. I will cherish them always
