Hey Joe I'm still in shock, I just talked to you a few months ago, we texted each other at Christmas. I'm glad I had one last chance to say hi. You taught me me how to dance and roller skate. Joe you were the best, a real friend, even though I have not seen you in about 30 years you will be missed pal. We had a lot of laughs at the store. Joe until we meet again cumba. Mags

What a wonderful man! I work at Hallmark Cards and was fortunate to work with Joe and call him my friend. My deepest sympathy to Joe's family. He talked about his family everytime I saw him. Joe will be so very missed. Anyone lucky enough to know Joe Crimi, loved him!

January 13, 2013

I was so sad to hear that my old friend is gone...it was so nice to talk with him again on fb . He was one heck of a guy who always had a smile on his face........The world is a sadder place without him. Be at peace old friend

January 13, 2013

My sincere condolances go out to the entire Crimi family. Joe was one of my classmates at Grant and Henninger High school. Besides, Joe was also a north-sider. Great person, always smiling, and a wonderful sense of humor. I remember talking to Joe at our 30th (?) Reunion get-together and that's when he mentioned that he moved out to the mid-west. I will certainly miss Joe. RIP my friend.

January 13, 2013

My God Joe, I miss you terribly. You were the most positive man I ever knew. When you weren't inspiring me, you were definitely making me laugh. Your advice to me was always sincere, your friendship, invaluable. You will be missed by all that were lucky enough to know you! My deepest condolences to the many loved ones you left behind.

January 12, 2013

I will keep you and yours in my prayers and I hope that with Gods love and grace...the pain will soon subside and you all will find great Joy knowing that he will be waiting to spend all of eternity with each and every one of you...♥

January 12, 2013

Joe had a passion for life that only a few ever achieve. I learned so much from Joe and I am a better person for having known him and be able to call him my friend. Shine on my friend. Shine On!

January 12, 2013

My dear old friend.
We had many laughs at the store and I will never forget the dancing. You may be gone but will never be forgotten. Your memory will be cherished forever.
RIP Joey

January 11, 2013

Time has surely past and I deeply wish that I had remained in contact with Joey and the family. It’s been said the best way to honor someone who is not with us anymore is to continue living our life and keep their memory alive through everyday events. I think Joey would have wanted that, and expected nothing less from all of us. Truly a loss, truly missed and truly loved.

January 11, 2013

Vicki and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Joe is in a better place, no longer suffering, and reunited with your mom, dad and his son.....his circle of life is complete. May god bless

Joe and I worked together for 18 years and became close friends. Joe taught me a lot about how to live with real zest, how to be generous with your time and resources, and how to love others with the unfailing love of the Father. Over the years we shared each other’s burdens, he taught me the meaning of perseverance. I will miss Joe, but rejoice, knowing that he is now home with his Lord!

January 11, 2013

I am so sorry for your loss Joe (Jr).Thank you for sharing the pictures of your father. I can tell you lost an amazing part of your life. My thoughts are with you and your family and I pray you find the peace that passes all understanding.

What can I possibly add to what had already been said? I count myself among those fortunate enough to have known Joe. He lived his life with honor, integrity, laughter, fun and most of all love. I posted a tribute to him on my FB, the song "Just a Gigolo". Those of us that knew him, can see him dancing in the heavens, Wherever Joe is, there will always be a party! Farewell, my friend...

January 10, 2013

You started out my older brother, then my friend and now a guardian angel. How hard it was to say good-bye. Apparently your journey here was over. I am so glad we talked so often. There is nothing gone unsaid. You knew I loved you. I knew you loved me. We had a great life didn't we? Great parents, great family. I will think of you ALL the days of my life. I will weep often. Love U.

January 10, 2013

I haven't seen or spoken with my uncle Joe since I was nine. What I remember about him is that he had kind eyes, a smile that lit up the room, and that he made the best lasagna I have ever had still to date. Wish I could have known him more but what I knew was he was a true kind of special. See you on the other side uncle Joe. Enjoy gods company while you wait for your family.

January 10, 2013

You were "my' beautiful suprise, the last thing I expected was to find a man like you, but there you were, sharing life with me, waking up my heart with your sweetness, filling my world with love more tender than I ever dreamed of. Thank you my love, my friend, my companion, until we meet again, many smooches and a big hug, xxxooo.

January 10, 2013

January 10, 2013

All I can say is Joe was just Joe. I met Joe a few years ago in Kansas while refurbishing chairs for Boeing. Every three months I would see Joe. I remember Mr. Crimi invited us to his house for supper and man can he cook. I last talked to Joe on 12/27/2012 he was asking for a freight quote for parts. He would always say Loop hey buddy. Joe you will be missed. Prayers for the family

January 10, 2013

I am so saddened to hear about Joe, still Joey to me. We spent many evenings together on Pond Street. My funniest memory I can think of, John Mearon and I going on Joe's and Donna's honeymoon with them to Niagara Falls. I was happy to reconnect with him after the high school reunion and was able to talk to him for a very long time. He was the best and will be missed! Patti Galuppo McKeon

Joe was my mother's love, her partner. These past four years, with him in her life, were the happiest I've ever seen her. He shared the best of himself with her and changed all of our lives. I am forever grateful for the time we had with him, for the family we gained and for the way he loved my mom so sweetly. I'm so sorry, he will definitely be forever missed by every life he ever touched

January 10, 2013

Crimi Family,
What can I say Joey was Joey. He was smart could cook and make you laugh all in 10 minutes. He was a guy and will be missed by us all.
Rest In Peace Joey and may God Bless You & Your Family.

January 10, 2013

Joe was one of the best pure salesmen I've ever known. He called on me for 10 years and made me smile every time he was here. I will really miss Joe because there is no one even close to him. I wish I could have said good bye.

January 10, 2013

Joe -

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if you need anything during this difficult time.

Joey was one of my oldest friends. We went to many dances together and boy could he dance. Joe had a lot of gals always looking to dance with him and we always had a good time. Before I met Joey he was best friends with Peter Talerico for a long time and was in the Pompeian Players and sang and danced. boy could he dance.He taught me the grasshopper. A true Nort-sider and I will miss him

January 9, 2013

What a guy! I am one of Joe's old friends from Junior High School. Facebook made it possible for Joe to share his wonderful family with his old friends. Hold each other tightly now. My oldest memories of Joe was the talk in 7th or 8th grade...he got the measles and then I got them! Days of innocence. He kept his great smile! You were all blessed to have him in your life.He will be missed

January 9, 2013

My friend...I am so going to miss you and our almost daily conversations. You will be forever in my heart. I love you Joe. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Sorry to Joe's family for his passing. I met him through my father Elmer Pyke, who married his mom Angeline A. (Carocci) Crimi-Pyke. My dad loved Joey and visited him w/ Angie. Now Joe is together with his dad, mom and all his loved ones who went on before. RIP Joe. Prayers for strength, beautiful memories, hope, faith and love.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Joe's family and loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with Joe for many years and not one conversation went by without him asking about my family and updating me on his. His love of his family ran deep. I'm deeply saddened by his passing, but very blessed to have known him.

January 9, 2013

Vick, Pat and Cos - My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you and the rest of your family. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Joe always suave and debonair...the 'real' joe, he would start hs poking fun and using his italian cuss words to pepper the conversation..we fell in love with him!! We are going to miss him bursting through our apartment door and stealing our candy out of the dish. Coming over for dinner and falling asleep and snoring. Anyones lives that were touched by Joe were honored. Till we meet again

January 9, 2013

We are thankful for the time Joe spent with our granddaughters (and his) Aspen and Payton. They will always have great memories of their Grandpa with them at the lake, decorating Easter eggs, traveling. I'm sure he enjoyed spending time with them as much as they did. He was always smiling in the photos! They will always remember and love you! RIP, Dick and Sharon Jones

January 9, 2013

Everytime our family had a gathering and the mob said Joe will be there, I always made sure I brought all my witt to keep up with you. You were the party starter and the center of every family gathering. You were always positive,funny,happy and someone we all fed off of. You will be missed beyond words.Never forgotten, always remembered. Will miss that facha. ~Love U~

January 9, 2013

My Father In Law Joe Crimi had a way of befriending everyone he encountered often without even speaking with them. Joe had a radiance and warmth about him that made you feel he was an old friend even if you just met him. He loved with all his might and he was loved deeply in return. The world is a lonlier place without Joe Crimi but Heaven is beaming with Joe's brilliant light and warmth.

January 9, 2013

For the short time I have known Joe he made a big impression on Linden and I. We had a great time with Joe and Virg on every occasion we had the privilege of sharing with them. My heart goes out to his children and to Virginia. May you rest in peace Joe.

January 9, 2013

Gone too soon says it all. Joe was a ray of sunshine that God blessed me with. I thank God that he came into my life.
