God bless you and your family. You were a role model for us younger students while at BU and in our fraternity ZBT.

God Bless the Maio's. You are an amazing family and I consider you my own. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers everyday.

Joe- you were my best friend, my roomate, and my brother. I miss you every day and I pray for your family with deepest concern that they are alright. You visit me in my dreams often and I cherish that time we have together. The memories I hold close to me will carry me through until we meet again. I love you buddy! Cory

Joey was as classy an individual as one could ever hope to meet. I was friendly with him in college and then in NY where he was widely known to be the guy that had it all...looks, brains, personality, heart and soul. He was the complete package of what represents us all about what is good about humanity. He will be sorely missed by many, and spoken of admirably forever. My prayers go to his family, as they do to all the unsuspecting victims of this tragedy both living and passed on. Have faith that there a lightness within which they are now enveloped. God bless.

Joey- No words can describe the lose we all have knowing that we have to wait until the other side to laugh and smile with you again. It's hard to believe it almost a year to the day.... how the world has changed since you left. Though we haven't spoken in quite a while, not a day goes by that I don't reflect on the days we were in camp pretending we were Rocky and Apollo Creed... or walking from Cory T's house to Randy's house in the dark talking smack about not being afraid of the dark. And don't forget the original P-Patrol either... I love you bro.. see you on the other side.

God Bless you and your family.Joseph,was a caring and always gracious individual. I will miss him dearly. But I know he is with the angels in heaven.God Bless your wonderful family they are in my prayers.We will always miss you at the alumni gathering on Long Island.

bless! be happy in the paradise!

It's been over a year now, and the joy and memories Joe and I created as good friends, is begining to surpass the grief of having lost him. For those of you who knew Joey, perhaps you understand what I'm saying. For those of you who did not know him, then you have missed out on something. He was a great friend, generous to a fault, and a strength of character stronger than any skyscaper. He is with me always.

Joe, You are in our thoughts every day. We will never forget the person you were and will tell everyone your story so that no one forgets. We miss you brother-in-law

To his family, Joe was a leader, a man that had integrity and most of all he loved his family. How would I know this fact? I was one of his best friends since 3rd grade, we went to Eldorado, then SV JrHigh and then graduated HS. We played football together and I spent lots of time with him and Palmer. I really have to say he was an inspiration to me, he was uplifting, athletic and very genuine. I wish we could take back that day so much because they were innocent people with real lives. I hope and pray for his surviving family and we shall never forget him. God rest your soul Joe. Dan Candelaria. dancandelaria@comcast.net

Joe- It's hard to believe that it has been over 6 years since that fateful day. My father joined you in heaven just over 1 year ago. I know you are both up there working as GOD's angels. We just had our 20 year high school reunion. It was an amazing experience, but everyone misses you. I hope and pray that your family is well and know in my heart that you are watching over them. I miss you brother. Love, Cory

Joey, 7 yrs later and I think about you often. Missing all the good times, but will never forget you. You were a man among men, a friend among friends. G-d bless you and your family. Heitz

People come and go in our lives every day. When we take some time to reflect our past only the ones that left their mark still stay vividly in our memories. Joey, you were that kind of a person.
