My name is William Soto (Bill). I own the home across the street (135 Jewett) from Joe & Lee. I want to express my deepest, heartfelt and sincere condolences to the Cavaliere family and specifically to Lee, who would often offer to share ice cream with me. Joe & Lee were one of the first people I met when I first purchased my house and they were so warm and welcoming. I specifically remember Joe looked at me and in a firm proud vibrant voice he tells me, “I’m 93 years old”. The following year he made sure he again shared his age, “I’m 94 years old”. I want to share that physically Joe may have felt his age, what with all the ailments he dealt with on a daily basis; BUT HIS MIND WAS AS SHARP AS A TACK !!!!! He always told me that everything went downhill after he retired and stopped working at 80 or 81 years of age. Joe had a way of making a person feel comfortable around him. To see him come and go in his van, for his age, was amazing. And Lee, at your age, you’re no slouch either. God bless you!!! The idea that you were married in the same year I was born (1953) just fascinates me. In closing I just want to say that the small sample I had of Joe’s personality and friendship was amazing. And in talking to Bob and Sue I know that he was loved immensely by friends and family members alike. YOU WERE UNIQUE JOE AND KNOWING YOU WAS A BLESSING !!!!!! Rest in peace
