“Dear LaRosa Family Please accept condolences for your loss of a nice man helpful coworker. Joe helped me many times with his structural knowledge and saved many projects that we worked on together at Pratt. His great musical ear confirmed good tuning on our piano. Those who he touched will miss him dearly. Bill Siwik”
