In memory of Joseph G. Carpentieri Jr., Russell Sarpraicone lit a candle

I'm sitting here at 12:00 am and can't stop thinking about Joe. I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact of never seeing his smiling face. And his and Joanne's constant encouragements throughout our friendship of which there are too many memories to even share. It's a lifetime of life's memories! I knew the Carpentieri's long before my son was even born and he's 37 years old. Joanne threw my baby shower for his birth and watched him and my daughter grow up and we talked and listened about all the laughter and tears of our children! (Krista, Jennifer and Danny) I can't imagine how much pain his not being here must mean to you. I'm so sorry! This is heartbreaking news! Even though my husband and I moved out of New York, we never lost touch. We would talk at least if not more, 2 times a year. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but you have to understand! When you talked to the "Carpentieri's" you talked! It wasn't like, Hey there, how are you? It was like you saw them yesterday and you talked!! !!!!!! ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!! And you laughed! I mean they really made you laugh!! Joanne, I love you and Pray you never lose your sense of humor, and that Joe will always be by your side even in death!! I pray for the love of your family and friends to stick close! Joe, you were and pain in the ass sometimes but you really loved Joanne! And your children and you grandchildren! You were that kind of guy! Rich and I love you, loved you and you will be sorely missed! See you in Heaven!!!: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Joann, We met eons ago and always stayed in touch and you know you and Joe were my family. Joe was always so kind and friendly to me and I always felt comfortable in your house. He was one of the nicest, smartest hardworking great dad, husband and I’m sure a great friend to many besides me. I remember every time I saw you guys Joe was building or fixing something. I can’t imagine either one of you without the other and i’m devastated by this news. I wish I knew I would have flown in but I’m sure you had enough to deal with and can’t imagine less than 100’s of his friends and family were there. Again I’m so sorry Joann. My sincere condolences to you and your family. You have my number and know you can call me anytime. To Krista, Jennifer and Danny my heart breaks for you and I will keep you all in my prayers. I loved your father so much. He had the best sense of humor and as bad as his heart was it was bigger than the universe. Joe I love you and will miss you so much. I can’t rap my head around the fact that your gone because it was always Joe and Joann in my life. I pray that your at peace now and I know your out of pain. But the pain of you gone that all of us feel is devastating. Fly with the angels my friend. You will always be in my heart.

Wow Dad, I’m sure you saw that you had quite the turnout. The funeral director told us she had never seen a church that packed for a funeral mass. And your procession was so long we really could have used a police escort. Monti drove all the way from Tennessee, Bauer flew in from Florida, People came from all over to say goodbye to you and to be there for us. You had a lot of friends who loved you, dad. How lucky you are, and how special you were to them. Don’t worry, mommy made sure your hair was perfect and I have to say, you sure looked handsome. You still got it dad, even in death! Oh, and of course cousin carol had to make a spectacle of you once more..she pinned your face to her hat and wore it to the funeral…we loved it! Your send off was beautiful and seeing Danny ride your Panhead to the wake was heart wrenching…so proud I was of him, and I know you were too. The Airforce flag presentation and flag folding was an honor, and yes u can thank me for that one, cause no one else remembered to tell the funeral director you served! They all tease and make fun of “a million questions Krista”, but one of my million moments was a good one! Mommy gave your flag to Danny, it was a beautiful moment. She couldn’t wait to hand it to him and told us ahead of time that she wanted him to have it…it made her so happy. Jerry told us the story about how u refused to play “Stairway to Heaven” at one of your gigs….how is it possible that we never heard this story before? I thought we heard them all! I loved when Lott told me about how u would never let him hang up the phone without saying “I Love you”, and if he did forget, you would call him back and say “did you forget something?” That story resonated with me, cause I know how important it was to you to always say that….but getting big, macho, grown men to do it…only you could make that happen! I hope people will continue to share your stories. I keep smelling your cologne, I’m not sure if I’m delusional or just wishing it was u letting me know your near me. I keep seeing your prayer card and I have to look away quickly, because my head can’t grasp that your gone, so if I don’t look at it, it didn’t really happen. Well, its been 1 day since I saw your face and 5 days since I heard your voice. I saw a mourning dove on the shed, all alone…I like to think it was you. After a few minutes you flew away, and I hope you come back soon.

Oh Joe, My Forever Friend, I'm so sorry you had to leave us and go home. You will live on in My Heart. My Dear Friend You are Loved Everyday, ~Mo

Dearest JoAnn and Family, words just cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your Beloved Joe’s passing. Ray and I had the most hilarious times with both of you. I pray that Our Lord Comfort you and yours in this most difficult of times. Love ❤️ Cheryl

Rest in Peace Joe met you in Long Beach 1988 Alway's was a pleasure to conversate with you. I was just Hired in 1987, and it felt. Like we knew each other for so long. May You Rest in Eternal Peace.

To know Joe was to love him! And fear him…. Lol. As teenager we feared him. As adults we loved and respected him immensely. He always had a joke to tell a smile to give, and a laugh to listen to. He always had words of wisdom and undeniable knowledge the legend he has created through his children is undeniable. The love he had for his children and his grand children are unmatched the love he has, for his wife is and always will be undeniable through the good Times and the bad they kept it together, and only came out stronger he was a father to many and he will continue looking over his loved ones now and forever he will always be missed and never forgotten. Fly free, Mr. Carpenteri.
