PICCININO JOE Today the 32nd anniversary of his demise. A unique man, one of a kind, A precious jewel so hard to find. His love and wisdom made us Feel so secure Leaving now in us a wound That will never cure. A helping hand he always threw Even at people he hardly knew. A great man, a tower of strength To whom us God has only lent. Your generosity and kind heart, Whose loss has torn Our lives apart, Is something words Cannot explain, All tears are now in vain. All the people You were surrounded by, Even though only For a short while, Felt love and respect for you As you were honest, Humble and true. We did great things together, As united as can be, Which made us a team As solid as a rock, The memories of which With pride fill me. These simple words I dedicate to you Do not come out of Any poetry book But straight from the heart That loved you, For only God knows what a Great man He took. Your loving wife Carmen, children Stephen, Elaine and Matthew, their spouses Lisa and AnnMarie, and grandchildren Angelique, Christian, Sarah, Mark and Andrea.
