Happy Birthday Pops!
We miss you so much every day and still look for you in every face
that passes.
Our lives are forever changed without you. Each of us saw you as our
hero. No matter where we landed, as long as we
were with you, we were home! You humor and kind and generous heart
will be with us forever. We will share
all the wonderful things about you, so that your beautiful
grandchildren will know you as if you were still with us today.
We love you!
Your children
Jen, Dana, Joe Jr.
Your grandkids,
Jessica, Cesar, Andrew and the new baby to be
Before Joe passed away he was able to do the
one thing that he had
always wanted to do all his life and
that was to play music.
Joe and I had the best weekend before
he passed. He had the gig on
Friday night, company party on Saturday
night and rehearsal at James's on Sunday.
Joe was my best friend, the love of my
life and soul mate. I will miss
him terribly. He has left a big void
in life. No one will ever be able
to replace Joe in my heart. I will love
him always and forever.
Elaine “Roadie” Balesteri
I WILL NEVER FORGET JOE. HE WAS ONE OF A KIND.
I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT
HE HAS DONE FOR EVERYONE. NO ONE WILL EVER FILL HIS PLACE.
HE IS SO DEEPLY MISSED EACH AND EVERYDAY.
I MISS HIM SO MUCH.
CAROL PLESKACH
To our buddy Joe. We miss you, your humor,
your smile, your voice, your
laughter and your musicianship as our bass
player. We all reminisce
every day. All great memories of great times.
You and your wife Elaine will always be our
musical weekend warriors.
We are forging on as you would have wanted.
I had serious thought about hanging up my musical
boots for a while
until Elaine said "Joe would have wanted us
to forge on".
So here we are once again, booking shows and
going out
and having some good old fashioned fun.
It's quite different without Joe, but time
will heal this unbelievable large
wound in our hearts and our spirits.
We all love you and miss you Joe,
Lovingly your band mates,
Tommy, Aaron, Brian, Les and Jason
Rest in Peace.
