As a kid growing up, I always remember Uncle Joe as kind and loving and he had a little red car in my grandmothers garage that we played in. Uncle Joe also sang with my dad (Jerry) and his brothers at every annual family reunion as the Jolly Rocks barbershop quartet highlighted the days event. My late mother, Irene, always enjoyed when Joe and family came to CT visit. We send our love and deepest condolences to Aunt Ginger and the entire family. ~ Shirl Roccapriore
Thoughts and prayers going out to Ginger and family. I didn't know Joseph personally, but heard wonderful things about him. I know he must have been a special man, husband and father. God bless your family.
Aunt Ginger, Mark, Jeffrey, Elizabeth and Peggy our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Uncle Joe will be greatly missed. Love Gary & Duane
My sympathy and blessing sent to the entire Roccapriore family. I will always feel special memories and close to Vito's family. I was not honored to know Joseph but I still know how special the Roccapriore family is. The memories are special and dear forever.

Joe was a soldier in Mary's Army, faithful and true. He helped bring the rosary to all on First Saturdays. This I am sure pleased her and her Son. Plus he labored even when not well to be where he said he would be. I am sure the Lord will let him sit next to His Mother especially when he is brandishing his rosary. What a day to leave us, August 22, the feast of the Queenship of Mary. I believe I've seen Our Lady of Banneaux and Our Lady of Bearaing, both of Belgium rolled up into August 22 date as well although I cannot find that now. Goodbye, good Joe, may Jesus grant you eternal rest quickly, through Mary!

As I think of dear cousin Joe, I think of him as a rock. No pun intended. He lived life as he wished, showed strength in maintaining his values and life style with the good Lord as his guide. I send much love and sincere sympathy to his loved ones. As always, cousins Linda and Ed Agostinelli and Aunt Mary DiBiagio
