Joe was born in Roma, Italy, (Rome). He said he could see the "Colliseum" for the vinyard at his home. His father was Mayor of Rome and he also lead a Band, there are pictures of him in his Band uniform.

He worked in maintenance at "General Hospital" in Indianapolis for a while, and later went to work for New York Central RR as a switchman until he retired. He work near the corner of Oliver Ave and Harding St. in Indianapolis.

When we were young we use to go past his station on the way to the swimming pool.  He always called down to us and told us to be careful. We were all wearing swim suits and he would tell us to go home an put some clothes on, after that we would wrap towels around us.
We had no idea at that time the he would become my sister's Father-in -law 10 years later.   Small world.

Joe was a typical Italian, About 5'2", blue eyes, dark hair, a little "chubby", quick smile and good nature, thick accent. He was a great cook and made home made speggetti and raviola, you could smell the sauce for blocks.  He gave the receipe to my sister Jean and made her promise to keep it a secret, bless her heart she took it with her. He had all kinds of "Old World" cures and could even remove "Stys." I remember he had Asthma and burned a power to help him breath and slept sitting straddle a kitchen chair.
  
On December 26 of 1954 he was on his was home and was crossing the street, he was struck by a Van, it hit him so hard it knocked his shoes off. He was hospitalized for 3 days where he died on Dec 29, 1954.
