This is sad news. Joe Will be missed at Osher. What a nice guy, smart and with a sense of humor. I always enjoyed talking to him.
Joe has been a friend at Osher for many years, always actively engaged in the many classes he participated in. As a fellow Xerox employee, I am also grateful for his role as Chief Engineer, contributing to Xerox’s success in the marketplace. My condolences to his family.
I’ve known Joe for over 40 years. We came from the same Brooklyn neighborhood. I’ve never seen him angry. He was always a fair man giving everyone a chance to voice their own opinion even when he didn’t agree. I will miss him a great deal.
We were both born in Brooklyn. While we had different opinions in class, we often ( pre COVID) shared childhood experiences as friends. I will miss him . We all will.
Worked with Joe for many years. Always upbeat, cheerful, gracious, and wise, Never petty, angry or vindictive; good will to all people. A driven engineer who led his team like an affable ships captain. A treasure of a friend. I truly mourn his passing. Godspeed Joe.
Godspeed Joe. We shall meet in paradise one day. You were a fine New Yorker and fellow Loughlinite, a good friend and, in past times, a valued Xeroid. You are missed.
As a fellow New Yorker, I will miss Joe’s accent. He always reminded me of the best of home. Accent aside, Joe made great points in our Current Events class. I will miss him.
My condolences on the loss of a great Italian. Joe always made me smile. When he met God, I hope thst his sweater was not on backward nor did it have a spot on it from eating something delicious! You could not help yourself from having a soft spot in your heart for Joe. “How are you young lady” was his customary greeting to me when I met him in the halls of building 801 at Xerox. He was a company man who achieved greatness in his career. I met my husband in the early 1980’s when he worked in Joe’s organization on the 1075 Program.. with Sharon Pane as his admin assistant. Joe gave us so many wonderful memories that we will always cherish.
So many stories, so many memories so many laughs. That’s the best thing you can say about Joe; he was always ready with a hug and conversation. Some of my best formative years was spent in his company. What a great man. He will be missed.
Sorry to lose Joe. He had many insightful comments in classes and at lunch.
I always enjoyed Joe at Osher, whether as a fellow student or a course leader. He asked good questions.
Just thinking about Mr. Marino brings a smile to my face. He was a brilliant and kind man with a genuine love for his family. My love to James and Deborah and especially, Mrs. Marino.
