I love and miss you all the time daddy!! When I reminisce on the times we spent at Dunkin together cheers-ing bacon, egg and cheese wraps and talking about it all, I’m reminded of how influential you were and continue to be in my life. When I wake up in the mornings and get a coffee with Garrett, I wish you could come grab a morning coffee with me…or even just an afternoon one? Whenever you’re free, I’m there. :) You’d ask me about my night and plans for the day and I’d sit there excited to hear what new project you were working on. Any and all time spent with you has always been cherished. Oh and I forgot to mention who Garrett is! Here’s a pic of us! Don’t worry; he treats your little girl very well and makes her soo very happy. :) I wish you could meet him. He reminds me a lot of you. Maybe in another lifetime when we meet again. I love you always and forever daddy.❤️

Wish I could call you. Love you forever daddykinz. Mwah.

I miss you very much Daddy . I wish to see you again. I just want to hold your hand hug you and kiss you and tell you that I love you so much.❤️❤️😭😭😭

Watched a video of you today and she said you were silly. You sure were!!

I worked with Joey in the 1970's and he was a great guy to work with!  He was a good officer and great friend to me when I first started with CGPD. He was quite a character and I will always remember our friendship! From your "Cousin Benny" RIP Joey.                                                                         

So sorry to hear about the passing of Joe, I worked with him many years and you could always count on him  as a friend and when someone needed backup. our payers go out to his family. RIP JOE.

Thought about you a lot today! Miss you Papa ❤️

My condolences to the Dipatrizio family.  I worked with Joey at CGPD and became friends.  He was a good cop,  kind and helpful.  I have fond memories of my time with him and pray that he is at peace. 

You will be so so missed Joe may you Rest In Peace Joe ❤ My thoughts and prayers are with you Irm,  Lucia , and  his two daughter May God had received him with open arms .


I thank God that he put you in my life. You took me and Justin and kilo in for eight months  in your home you treat us very well. You were always respectful to me. Great memory that I will have of us when every morning we would sit at coffee table and have our coffee and we were just talk about anything you and Irma me. I will always remember the days that you would invite me end the kids to go to the keys the kids would have lots of fun they love their uncle Joey. I will never forget you Joey you will always live in my heart and I will miss you very dearly. Rest in peace brother-in-law

Uncle Joe, my mentor, my bigger then life guy. You are so missed. I am really having a hard time with your loss. I know your with me but I want another hug, another uncle Joe laugh and another conversation with you. I know you will always be within a thoughts range and I know in my heart you are watching over me but I miss you. Thank you for being such a big part of my life for so long and mentoring me like you were my father. You will be on my mind forever! I love and miss you more then words can say! One, of many, fond memories I have is when you came to our house when I was young and you would get us kids together and throw the change that you had saved up in the air for us to dive for and get what we could. You were always fun to be around. I was always excited to be with you and cherished our conversations. Keep watch over your girls and help them along the way to make good choices. Especially look after aunt Irma the way you always have. She needs you now more then ever, give her peace and guidance through this very difficult time. Uncle Joe I still can't believe you are gone, I miss and love you so much. I could talk about you for hours I know you hear my thoughts and you know my heart. You have taken a peace of me with you. Say hi to my mom and grand parents for me. Yahweh has a true angel 😇 💖 I miss you uncle Joe! I love you, I love you, I love you! I will see and hug you again someday.  Help us all get through your loss!!

My  daddy . My hero
My guardian angel. He watches over my back he may be gone from my site. But he is never gone from my heart…… I miss you very much Daddy.. I love you very much daddy.

I served with Joey at Homestead AFB in the late 60's. Always considered him a friend. May God give you peace and healing during this difficult time

Joey, 

You always made work fun, never a dull moment. The best Sergeant I ever worked for, and one of the best police officer the Homestead Police Department ever had.  You taught us all so much, most importantly you taught us how to laugh in the face of adversity, how to laugh at ourselves and each other.  You were the guy that could  
bring Camaraderie to a shift.  I have so many fond memories because of you my friend. I will always remember you as a kind, brave man with a wonderful sense of humor .  Until we meet again.   

To Irma, thank you for Taking care of Joey in the most difficult times, he loved  and appreciated everything you did for him. You deserve the very best, may god bless you each and everyday.   
Always Sheila Johnson 

I met Mr. Dipatrizio when I was working as a clerical at the attendance office of Hammocks Middle School. One of his daughters, Angie, was a student there at the time. The first time I met him he came in to the office to deliver a dance outfit that Angie had forgotten at home and needed for that day. While most parents would be a bit annoyed having to take time off from their day to come to their child’s school, Mr. Dipatrizio came in with a beautiful smile and such a positively contagious attitude that I couldn’t help but to feel the same. I could see how much his family meant to him and how much he cared about helping his most loved ones. Not only that, but he was friendly towards me and all the staff there. Throughout the rest of the school year, he would often come in to deliver something again or to drop off/pick up her daughter, and every single time I saw him, I had funny and witty conversations with him that would brighten up the rest of my day. It was his type of character that impacts our world so positively and left an impression on me on how I wanted to shape myself as a person and as a father/husband someday in the future. Gone but never forgotten. R.I.P. Joseph Alfred Dipatrizio.

Deepest condolences to the family and his many friends. Working with Joey at the Coral Gables PD was a wonderful experience, he had an enhanced work skill set, always had great stories and a quick smile.
Everyone who knew or met him will always remember Joey D. Rest In Peace.

He didn't have to be our dad, he wanted to be our dad ❤️  there was never a dull moment in the DiPatrizio household when we were kids. I'm missing you so much Dad but I do find comfort in knowing, we will be together again ❤️ I love you Dad ❤️

Joey you (and Irma) were always there for me and the family.  I will miss you very much.  I am heart broken. You were a good human being and loved you like a father.

Joey we first met when you were a Coral Gables cop many years ago, who would have known that you’d become a Homestead cop, a good cop at that. I’ve always valued our friendship and enjoyed working with you. You were probably one of the most dedicated K-9 handlers we ever had. I know that you are now at peace and in the presence of the Lord. May God bless you and your family and brother we’ll all meet again and enjoy each other’s company and friendship. Love you brother and rest in peace.

We met Joey Di when he served as an off duty security cop for our Art shows at Pioneer Mall on Washington Avenue. He was professional , but plenty of fun. We all loved him and remained friends to the end. May God go with you, Irma, and family. We are available if you need us.❤️🙏

You called me your Angel and now you’re mine. Love you so much daddy! Xoxo! 

Miss you and love you forever, daddykinz. Thank you for everything. MWAAAA.

I wish I had photos. Joey D, you were my first Sgt. I remember after the county came and got the prisoners from HPD about 2 or 3 in the morning with the Blue Bird,  I’d ask, now what? You threw me keys to a pool car and told me to go and he’d call if he needed me. I did whatever you wanted, including tiling you RV in the south lot, lol. You always had my back and I had yours. I miss your roll calls. I love you man. RIP my brother. You were the best of the best. I marked family because not in blood, but you will always be  HPD family. Love you Joey D.

To the best daddy in the world.  You where always funny and sweet to me. My heart always felt so much loved from you.  Now your not here daddy. And my heart is broken.  I love you so much daddy. And miss you very much. 

Our hearts are broken because you’re not here with us. Not a day goes by that I have not stopped crying for you. We miss you and love you so much. And one day we will meet again. Love you always Irma and Lucia.
