Joe was a terrific man. Our school did business with Varsity Jackets. The students, staff, & parents always really liked Joe. I was lucky enough to be able to chat & laugh with him every time he came to Oratory Prep. He had a great warm smile, and I always looked forward to seeing Joe when it was time for the students to get their varsity letters.

Joe you will be very much missed. Your family is in our prayers,

R.I.P. My Dear Friend Joe Pepe In the fast paced world today, where all other relationships are slowly losing their authenticity, it is friendship, which in some cases stands the test of time, and lasts forever. However, good, genuine friends are very difficult to find, and when we do find them, we should treasure them forever.

Joseph “Joe” Pepe was one of my Best Friends. Our best friends are those who keep us grounded, tell us the reality as it is, and remain with us through our ups and downs. Can have a disagreement and still be friends. If you have ever had such a friend, who has always been there for you through thick and thin, but now is separated from you by death you must have realized that such a loss is irreplaceable, it is devastating. At the same time, it is important to remember that accepting life is all we can do. So, for all those who find themselves in such a situation, understand the older you get the less friends you will have, and others will forget what you have shared through the years. Believe me I know.
We lose them in death, to distance, and over time they don’t have time for you anymore. But even though they may be lost, hope is not. The key is to keep them in your heart and remember the memories. Even the lost find their way home, when you leave the light on. Joe Pepe was a true friend, always there, to listen to support. I will miss him deeply. I love you Joe God Bless you Rest in Peace. Ill see you on the Big Ball Field in the Sky soon.

What are your best memories of time together?

Dot Albert
We were so fortunate to have met Joe and Ann when we moved to Springfield over 60 years ago. We all enjoyed each summer at the Springfield Township pool with Joe, Ann and all our kids. Joe loved parties and always invited his friends to his house for dinners and cocktails. New Years Eve Joe would choose the restaurant and we all attended. One memory we will always remember with a smile - one winter Joe invited us to drive to West Liberty, W.V. To visit Joe, Jr. at his Home coming football game at college. Unfortunately Joes car broke down enroute and we got a motel. We were fortunate and counted our blessings. The bad news there was only one motel room - NO heat - and we all slept with all our clothes on. We thought we would freeze to death -- but we didn't . We attended the football game. The good news we were all in this together. Joe enjoyed life and his family and friends. We were blessed to have been part of his life. We have such beautiful memories and will keep him in our hearts and prayers.
Love you Joe God Bless you . ...Dot & Rudy Albert
