Dear Rosella,Mario and Roberto, please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your husband and father. Joe was a character in his own right and his zest for life should be an inspiration for us all. Nicole.
P.S. I have very found memories of many Christmas dinners at your house where Joe entertained us all with his famous bbqs.
Dear Tinucci Family,
Joe Tinucci was a great man! He could light up any room
with his great personality and generosity. As a player for
many years with Columbus F.C., I can honestly say that
he was a wonderful team president. He was supportive
and loyal to all of his players and most of all, his love for the
team was always evident. We spent many games together
and you have left us with us with so many fond memories.
Your generosity, spirit and loyalty will never be forgotten!
Our Sincerest Condolences,
Dino Alberti & Family
Wishing you our deepest sympathies.

Dear Rosella, Mario and Roberto:
Please accept our sincere condolences at your loss. Ever since you guys moved in on Gravely Street and joined our extended neighbourhood family we enjoyed having you all around! So many great memories of games and fun and food we shared. Joe was a great guy. I can clearly remember his loud, booming voice, his love of vino, and his ringing laughter.
We don’t see you as often as we should, as we all head off in our various adult directions, but I reflect often on the great times we had growing up. Joe will be missed, badly, and we wish you peace in the days ahead.
Our prayers are with you,
Kevin McKay and family
sorry to see another happy man go…our prayers are for him and you.May the memory of his smile sustain you
