My parents, Clarence and Myrle,my wife jackie, and I extend our sympathy to all our family in Springfield over the death of our cousin Joe. My parents have memories that go back 90+ years. Mine go back to the early 50s when we all play together at Rosy's house on 5th street. Joey and his brothers, my cousins, and I are probably the last generation to be able to say we've played together as a family. We do have a lot of old Family memories together Even though we lived so far apart. Thanks for the memories Joe, we're all so lucky to have them. The mike and Clarence Sapienza family.
