To my childhood friend on Washington street in Brattleboro vt. Knew u when everything was magical....when we were just little boys. Hope it is magical once again where u are. Love your childhood buddy, bob

How has it been a year without you my friend? I am so grateful to have this place to see pictures and read memories, even though you avoided most social media. I guess we got the last laugh there. You could always make me laugh and often still do. Thank you for that.

My love to all of you that stop by this page while you are missing our Joe.

Joe was a Brother in my pledge class when I rushed Alpha Gamma Rho at the University of Vermont in 1989. We and many in our pledge class moved into the house soon after, staying there until our graduation in 1992. Joe and I were roommates one of those years, the best roommate one could ever wish for (including his tip on how to warm your shaving cream before shaving)! He brought a calm and fun demeanor to every moment. We enjoyed many adventures together including some awesome hiking and skiing in the Green and White Mountains, often in his Datsun. Life after college kept us many miles apart, but my love and appreciation for Joe never waned. I miss you Joe.

DeeDee, Joe, family and friends,

I'm so sorry to hear about Joe. I can see how much he meant to all of you and my thoughts are with you.

DeeDee, Joe, Cordelia, Grace, and Sara,

My condolences to all of you. Dee Dee, I remember how your eyes would light up when you talked about Joe and how very proud of him you were. He was blessed to have such a wonderful loving family. May the memories of him bring smiles, comfort, and peace to all the lives he touched. 
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Joe’s family and friends. I knew him from my time at UVM as a fellow AGR Fraternity Brother. He was a wonderful person and a great example to others.

Joe, Deedee, Cordelia, Grace and Sara,
Keith and I are so deeply sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Garofalo Family - Love to you all. 

Joe 2, Deedee, Cordelia, Grace and Sara, I am so grateful to all of you-his family, for helping Joe become the amazing man he was. The comfort in this loss is knowing that he lived life on his terms and was able to find the good in everything.  I am confident that some of that zest and contentment will live on in all of us. I know his spirit remains with us and will help guide us not only through this loss but also throughout the rest of our lives on this Earth. 
For all of Joe's other loved ones, I look forward to reading your stories and seeing your pictures. These memories are treasures and even the sad ones were blessings having spent them with Joe. I consider us all family in a way, as most of the people Joe let into his life, he intended to keep there forever.  Forever was cut way shorter than my liking but how lucky we were to have had the time together that we did.  
Joe, thank you. Thank you for all that you taught me, for giving me inspiration, direction, meaning and roots. It's funny because I can't even find words to fully express what you mean to me. I guess some things really can't be said, they must be felt. Ironic since that is another concept I learned from you.  So many of the interconnected elements of our past experiences have already revealed themselves. I am excited for you to unmask more.
Until we meet again... Sparkle on my friend. I'll be watching.  

Joseph, you are missed. Lily, Romeo and I are lost without you. Thank you for many years of friendship, companionship and laughs, and for being the person I always came home to. Thank you for being the sweetest patient in the world, and for showing all of us how to be grateful for every single day, even the bad ones. Fly high, my friend. We love you. 

So smart, athletic, calm, funny, wise, good looking & kind. I miss my brother who teased me, taught me, took care of me and adventured with me. I am excited to share stories and pictures with you all, to remember and cherish the years we had together. ♥️ I look forward to celebrating Joe’s life for the rest of mine by channeling his goodness on a daily basis, showing up, staying calm and not wasting a day, by living without regrets just like Joe showed us was possible.
