Dearest Mr. Joe,
What an honor and privilege it was to know and care for you in your later years. Thank you for always being such a gentleman! I so enjoyed watching you love your family and friends. I was so blessed to be treated not just as a caregiver but also as a friend. You are deeply loved and missed! 
May God bring your family and friends comfort as we say good bye for now. I look forward to seeing your smiling face in Heaven with your wife Marion! Anytime I hear Big Band music it will remind me of you my friend! 
Dear Teresa and family, may God's comfort be with you all.

My friend Joseph Napoli an amazing man whom I was blessed to be his companion, friend, and caregiver. I'm honored to be a part of his family for the past 12 years. Joseph was a proud and loyal military man who loved his country. He was a devoted and loving husband to his amazing wife Marion who proceeded him in death. Joseph was the father to four outstanding and caring children, a loving grandfather, great and great great grandfather. His unconditional love for his family came first, so I was excited and thrilled when he would share his wisdom, adventures and family fun days with me. Joseph delighted in having friends and family gatherings. We had fun, food, a small teenie, and lots of laughter. Since the Lord called you to heaven my greatest joy are the happy and wonderful memories you shared with me. So today I say "thank-you and goodbye". I will miss you. Love your friend, Carol Budzinski

I know your Father was deeply loved and well taken care of till his last breath.  I pray that you will take comfort in knowing he is where he wanted to be, with your Mother.  I also pray that when the sadness of his passing gets too great that you will be able to remember the good times with him, the sweet times and the loving times and know peace.

This week we are honoring the veterans of World War II in that it was seventy years ago that they secured a victory over Japan and the end of World War II.  At this time as our hearts are heavy with the loss of our comrade Joseph who participated in this victory we must never forget his contribution to our freedom. Unless one has been there one will never know the sacrifice that Joseph made for this country.  There is an old saying "Freedom has a taste to those who have fought for it that the protected will never know".  Joseph knew very well how freedom tasted as he fought for it.  I salute you comrade and thank you for your service to our country. Semper fi,

Boss, 

Throughout my years of being your caregiver, in the end it was you who took care of me. You taught me about courage, loyalty, commitment, and perseverance, and most importantly love of family and friends. It was the way you lived your life, dedicated to your God, Family, and Country that spoke volumes to me, and showed me what is truly important in life. These lessons occurred in the quiet mornings over the paper and a 3 1/2-minute egg, in the afternoons with coffee, biscotti, and the crossword puzzle, and at 5:00 with a Joe's Mix martini. You taught me from memory how to make veal cutlets, and I learned the hard way, never forget to salt the macaroni water (just 2 more minutes). 

Joseph, you have truly enriched my life, changed me forever, and I will never forget you. Thank you my dear sweet friend. May you rest peacefully in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.

Thank you Teresa, Joanne, Joe, and Tom for sharing him with me and for treating me like family. I am forever grateful.

Love, 

Chrissy

Tom, Joanne, Joseph, Teresa and families, 

I was so saddened to hear of Uncle Joe's   passing.  Although I hadn't seen him since 1984, I thought of him often.  He and your Mother were instrumental with me being able to link up with my natural Mother, and it was him being in the Air Force that encouraged me to not only join, but spend 24 years before retiring.  He'll be sadly missed by all.

Don & Lynn

Uncle Joe, no words could thank you enough for your dedication and service to our country.  We will both miss you, but we are thankful that we were able to be with you to celebrate your 99th Birthday! Rest peacefully Uncle Joe.

Love, Gail and Frank

A gentleman in every sense of the word, a GREAT American, and a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and cousin. It is a privilege to have had him in our lives. Love from cousins Marie and Mickey

I know you best through your daughter, Joanne, but its been an honor to have met you and celebrated your last year and one half with us. I was truly inspired to learn your story and meet your wonderful family.
Ron Osborne

Dad I am so proud to call you my Father.  Thank you for taking care of us and our country all these years.   I am  glad you are home where you belong, with Mother.  Take care of each other until the rest of your family can join you.   Rest in peace, I love and miss you, Joanne

Joseph is one of the reasons we are enjoying our freedom today because if it were not for individuals like him we would be living under the oppressors that he fought against.  Rest in Peace Comrade, you have fought the good fight and we salute you.  Semper fi.  Because of you I was able to achieve my dream.
