Condolence & Memory Journal

We were so sorry to hear about Joe. He was such a local fixture that we assumed he would continue coming through our front door forever. Our sympathies for the Riccardelli family as they adjust to life without this gentle and joyful soul.

Joe: I loved having you in my life, especially in our early years with our long talks, fun, and wandering around politics, and memories of our youth. Your energy, laughter, and quips made my life more exciting than it would have been. You, your family, children, and relatives always have brought Honor and High Ideals to our Way of Life in our Beloved Home Town of Stoneham, Mass. I'll miss you my friend. ' Lefty' Pignone and Family.

Dear Anne, Rick, Karen and family,
I am so very very sorry to hear of Joe's passing - he was truly a happy soul, always with a smile. He loved his family, his community and his work and worked hard at whatever he did. He was always first to volunteer for a community event for the Chamber and always had Stoneham's best interests at heart. He will be sorely missed!
