WE are so sorry for your loss! We lit a candle for him in church on Sunday. Even though he will be greatly missed there are so many wonderful remembrances for me as a child and even for my husband. Joe and Mary were one of the first family friends Nick met.
May Joe's memory be eternal!

Dear Mary, Gina, Joey, Michael, Tony, Greg and Families,
We are so sorry for your loss of Joe. Words are inadequate, but please know, all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I can't think of growing up on Clifton without an image of one of the Elinskys being there, Mary & Joe always caring, treating the O'Donnells as one of their own! Joe was well loved and well taken care of by his family. He will be missed. Without doubt, music in heaven is sweeter now. May loving memories of Joe bring you comfort and may God's Angels surround and protect all of you during this difficult time.
