Dear Daloia family members,
Those of us who regularly attended the Friday morning
breakfasts are saddened to learn of Joe’s passing. He was
our old neighbor, school –mate and a good friend.
How much we appreciated his desire to prepare the food and
his intent on opening every Friday regardless of any
severe weather.
We wished and prayed for his recovery and return.
Our efforts may not have been enough, but we hope it was
some of what sustained him through his final weeks.
A soft spoken, kind and gentle man, he served, his friends
and Northside domain unselfishly. He was our chief cook,
the consumate Christopher Columbus, the Northside spokesman,
and by unanimous consent….“The Mayor”.
Although we still get together at another locale, we lament those
good times at the Center, the laughs, the ribbings, the photo-shopped
caricatures, seeing old friends drop by, the luncheon reunions,
and our old standbys at the grill….Joe and Bennie.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend
The time we shared and enjoyed together
were all fun and good.
But the Golden Years we hoped to longer share,
Passed more quickly than we hoped they would.
And the legacy Joe leaves, as friend and Northside
icon too,
Will live each day our thoughts acknowledge you.
Hai fatto bene, Joe Daloia……you did good !
God love you and may you rest in His peace.
