Nola/Family My deepest sympathies are with you and your family. Joe was my very first boss in life. I have so many delightful memories working with Joe and your family. He was a very special man. Every time that I am in town, I always drive by the Dairy King and take a moment to think about what a joyful time I had working with Joe, It has been a privilege knowing Joe, you and your family. May God, Bless you All

Nola --- My deepest sympathies are with you and your family. There is an old Italian saying that if you die near a holiday you will go directly to heaven. Your Dad will be in heaven for Christmas. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Debra Talerico Cimbala

It was a great honor to have met Joe. He was a kind man, and he and Nola will always hold a very special place in my heart. My deepest condolences to his family.

Joe and Nola will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was lucky enough to call them family from my Dad's side and call them lifelong friends from my Mom's side. I always enjoyed hearing about the fun times spent on Adams Avenue by the Richards/Tarantino families. And I can remember my Mom always telling me when she ran into one or both of them and them always asking about my latest adventures. My love and prayers go out to the entire family.

Joe and Nola both were so very kind to me and my daughter Brittany Snoderly when we took care of them. Joe liked to tell his stories and joke around with us and Nola was a little more on the serious side. My condolences for the family and friends. Sorry for your loss Rebecca, Victoria, Nola, Monica, MaryJo and Joe. Sending prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I have a lot of fond memories of Mt. Tarantino. When I worked at Adamston Elementary ddring the strike he opened up the downstairs so we could warm up and he brought us coffee and doughnuts out on the picket line. Later when I taught at Liberty he was always there selling tickets at football and basketball games. He was always smiling and laughing. What a wonderful man. He will be missed by all!

Joe and Nola were an important part of my childhood as were their children. Joe was as kind and gentle man as I have ever known. He lived a good life and a long life and will long be remembered. He was a good and decent man. To Monica (my classmate) and to the rest of Joe\'s family, I share with you my sincere sadness, tempered by the belief that he is in heaven. I am so sorry that I cannot come to the service. My vision is impaired and I cannot drive after dark. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Eddie
