  Joseph Hasson

Date of Birth: March 2, 1967

Joe, though we never met, I have come to know you through Mary, Lil Joe, and your family.

You are a remarkable person. While I wish we had the chance to celebrate life together, your energy and spirit touches my life and the lives of many others… we miss you.

Your family is wonderful. Mary and Joe are a special part of our lives and my friendship with Mary is a special blessing. Her kindness, consideration and honesty are heartwarming. Despite her busy life, she finds time to help us and is always so thoughtful. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Mary is a very dedicated and caring mother and it is magnificent to watch her and Joe together.

Lil Joe is adorable, smart, and fun. His enthusiasm and happiness are contagious. My older daughter, Alexa, delights in being with him. At night, when Alexa is in bed, her last words before nodding off are “Where’s Joe?” Once we tell her Joe is asleep, she comfortably nods off. He is so often on her mind and in her stories.

Mary is a treasured friend to all of us…. Alexa can’t get enough of her.

Joe, I wish you were still with us. My heart aches when I think about you. I still cannot believe this has happened. I know you continue to watch over and give strength to Mary, Joe, and your family.

Your memory is eternal.

  • Joe shared a loving childhood with his sister Victoria and brother Christopher. He was a great big brother who led by example.
    Joe’s dad was his mentor as evidenced by his choice of career. Following in his dad’s footsteps down the path of success was a goal Joe had set for himself and had achieved. Joe leaves us knowing that his father has been and will continue to be the pillar of strength for his family.
    Joseph Hasson was definitely his mother Paulette’s son. His gregarious, upbeat, and energetic personality was a direct result of his mother’s genes. Her constant love and support of her son gave Joe the confidence to go into the world and conquer it.
    In our hearts, Joseph John Hasson III will never die. Although he will be missed more than words can ever describe, he will live on through his family, his friends, the many memories we share, and most importantly, his true legacy, his son.
    Joseph John Hasson III had a special gift. He was able to bring out the best in people and lift their spirits to their highest level. By the end of a conversation with Joe, he had you feeling so good about yourself, you felt like you could fly.
    Joe was rewarded for his big heart and kind words on September 19, 1997 when he married his beautiful wife Mary. Together they had a perfect union. They enjoyed their time together to the fullest. Whether it was as simple as dining in one of their favorite Bay Ridge restaurants, or traveling on one of their exotic vacations, Joe and Mary were always happy together. Joseph could frequently be heard exclaiming, “My wife is the best!”
    The healthy relationship yielded one of God’s perfect creations, Joseph John Hasson IV. Joe IV was, in retrospect, born on a very special day, Father’s Day, June 17, 2001. Baby Joe became the sparkle in his father’s eye. When you asked Joe about his son, he would take his photo from his wallet, kiss it, show it to you, then kiss it again before he put it away.

    Arthur Aidala, Friend
  • Joe will always be remembered by me as one of the true sweethearts. He always was so upbeat looking at the world everyday with joy. I can never forget the look on his face at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens on the day of his wedding. He had to be the happiest bridegroom I had ever seen. May God keep you close because you are so very special

    Saul Handelsman, friend and co-worker
  • I worked with Joe at eSpeed (and recently found out that we share the same alma mater!) I always found Joe to be the nicest man. He always had a smile for me in the hallway and a warm hello. What a sweet guy! We miss him around here.
    My best to his family.

    Sabreena, co-worker
  • I worked with Joe when he needed help and occasionally traveled with him to customer sites. He was always grateful when I helped him. He stopped in a lot to chat even when he didn’t need help. He was always joking and laughing. I miss him very much. He is a great man. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

    Ed Hicks, co-worker
  • I worked with Joe in eSpeed Sales, but work is not what I think about but the love he had for his son, Joe Hasson IV. He was so excited, so thrilled to be having a baby. He was so amazed by his son. I am so sad that they did not have more time together. To Joe IV, when you are old enough to understand what happened, I want you to know that even your father’s coworkers knew how much he loved you. Your photos were on his desk and computer. He will always be with you.

    I send my love to Mary and the whole family.

    Monica O'Leary, co worker
  • Joseph always was and will continue to be the apple of my eyes. He was a special gift from God and brought me enormous joy and pride. He was the type of man I always wanted to be…generous, selfless to a fault, and a prince of a friend. We are fortunate to have his son Joe IV as a constant reminder of Joe’s love of life and his passion for his family and friends. My pledge to you dear son is I will take care of your loved ones to the best of my ablility and I will think of you constantly, not with sadness, but with pride and admiration in who you were. Until we reunite…..love Dad

    Joseph J. Hasson Jr, Father
  • Hello Joseph my Beautiful Big Brother.
    I miss you so.
    I’ve looked under ‘H’ many times and you weren’t there. Now that you are I hate it. I’m glad in a way because you deserve a page. I figure you need a book! We need a place where people can express what you’ve meant to them. I love hearing stories about you. It seems everyone has one even if they met you only briefly.
    You are UNFORGETTABLE!
    I’m so PROUD to have you as a brother. I hope that the majority of people out there love & enjoy being with their family as much as we did.Those memories are what keeps us going & we will continue doing that Joe though it will never be as sweet as it could have been.
    Joseph you know how special you are to me, as I am to you. I’m so glad we always let eachother know it. I love you so much. You live on in my heart & in so many others. It’s really quite amazing how many lives you have touched. How about that turnout?!
    I’ve gone way past the preferred 100 word limit – it was so easy. I could go on & on about you.
    You will forever live on in me.
    Thanks for everything.
    “Twas heaven here with you.”
    All my love,
    Vicki

  • One of the nicest guys I met at cantor. Never without a smile for ya.Joe is one of those guys u want in your foursome or next to u at an Allman Bros concert at the Beacon come march.Always enjoying life to the fullest. You wll be sorely missed by all.My thoughts and prayers to your family.

    Tommy, former coworker
  • I first became friends with Joey back in the summer of 1991. I started Cantor that summer and, on the weekends, I would go to the Hamptons and frequently run into Joey and his crew. He was a great guy, always with a smile on his face. I am very grateful that our paths crossed and send my thoughts and prayers to your family.

    Edward De Castro, co-worker/friend
  • Joe, all I have to say is I missed calling you after the Jets beat Miami TWICE this year. That’s another ten bucks you owe me. I will always think of you and our Miami/Jets fights when they play. Mary, you and your son are always in my thoughts and prayers. I promise if Miami ever makes the Super Bowl, I’ll root for them, just for you. God bless, my friend.
    Mary

    Mary Terjesen, friend/co-worker
  • Joe was a great guy, always with a smile on his face and a bounce in his step. I met Joe in 1992, and being another Brooklyn guy we got along well. we would go out with work, and many times I would bump into him in Bay Ridge. It was an honor to know him. God bless his family always.

    russell fiordimondo, co-worker, friend
  • Although I only worked with Joe for a year or so; he was the kind of guy you couldn’t forget. Always upbeat, happy, and willing to help in every cause. If you needed help on the trading desk, he was there. More food at lunch, no problem. Need a plan for drinks or dinner after work, he could put it together. After hours, piece of cake. And he’d beat you in the next morning for good luck.
    I used to get a kick out of his Brooklyn stories growing up, and later living upstairs from his parents. His family meant the world to him. At the time he was single, and had many funny stories to tell about friends, cousins, aunts, uncles,etc.
    In the sometimes stuffy world of Wall St. we’d share some “unstuffy stories” about sports, high school, college, friends, parties, etc. Just when I thought I had a good one: Joe always seemed to top me in most, if not all areas. Then we would get back to the stuffy world of Wall St. He probably would have topped me there as well; if only given the chance. He was a special guy.
    My condolences to his entire family.

    Bond Broker, Former co worker
  • Everytime I think of you Giuseppe, I smile. I am lucky and honored to have called you my friend.

    You used to tell me “Mikey, you have gold running thru your veins!”, but the truth is it was you, Giuseppe, that had “Gold running thru your heart.”

    When I think of Joe Hasson I think of a man filled with honor, courage, family, love, friendship and character…

    May God hold you in the palm of his hands and as close to his heart as all of us do.

    Michael LaRocco, Friend/ Co-Worker at Cantor
  • I WILL LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN !!!!

    Mary Hasson, Wife
  • I first met Joe back in 1989, at the time we were both assistant brokers working on the 2yr desk, backing each other up and constantly laughing. Joe was such a genuine person and that’s what I loved about him. He would always talk to me about Mary and tell me how much he loved her and knew she was the one for him. When baby Joe was born he was the happiest father on earth, he would come and show me pictures. He was so proud of his family and couldn’t wait to rush home to be with them. We have a lot of memories working in the short room, but what I will miss most about Joe is him saying “GIVE ME THREE SABELLA”. I know you are an angel watching over everyone. To the Hasson family, I will pray for you every day. GOD BLESS.

    Helen Sabella Becker, Friend, Co-worker
  • Joe worked with my husband Tommy for the past couple of years and they became very good friends. I remember last Father’s Day when Joe called our house to tell us he and Mary had a baby boy named Joseph. I heard Tommy tell him how happy he was for him and that Joe would never experience anything ever again as he did by watching his first son be born…Tommy got off the phone and told me the good news, he said he could not be happier for anyone as he was for Joe and Mary that day. He knew that Joe just experienced the same feeling he did when our little Tommy was born…Joe and Tommy shared many things through the years right up until their last moments together. I found out in the past couple of months that Joe and Tommy were together on the morning of Sept.11th and the only solace I have today is that he was with someone who he loved and someone who loved him…

    Kerriann Dowd, Friend
  • Joe Hasson will always be remembered to me as truly being a remarkable, loving, trustworthy, and caring person. He brought so much joy to each and everyone who has crossed in his path. I cherished the times I spent with Joe and Mary and when their little baby Joseph was born, I couldn’t be more happy for the both of them. I think about Joe every day, his smile, his twinkle in his eyes, his kind words, and his loving dedication to his family. Joe is truly an admirable and courageous person. He will always remain forever in my heart. May GOD watch over the Hasson family as I know that HE will always be watching over Joe. Love you Joe with all my heart!!!

  • Joe,
    Just wanted you to know I saw Mary and little Joe
    this past Saturday and their doing well. Their
    both beautiful people, and you should be very proud. At one point I was feeding little Joe and he looked up at me and smiled in a way that only you could smile. I know realize that you are all around us constantly, and it puts my heart a little at ease. Talk to you again soon buddy.

    gary ekelund, friend
  • Joe was my husband’s best friend. Every time they got together they let you know it. Joe was a good soul. He always made me feel so comfortable around his friends and family. He would be the first to laugh at my dumb jokes. Not a day passes that I don’t think about you and Mary. You’re unforgettable. Dennis told me so many funny stories about you. He loved you so much. Thank you for making him so happy. Dennis is going to teach little Joe everything he needs to know to be a great football player and whatever else he thinks you would have wanted him to know. I know you will guide Dennis to give your little guy whatever you think he should get from him. I love you, Mary and that little baby so much. Thanks for blessing me with your unique friendship. May God bless and keep you smiling that beautiful smile that only you have forever and always. I pray that you will give strength to your family to be once again. Hold them when they sleep and kiss them when they wake. I love you Joe!!! In my prayers always, Valerie Mannarino

    Valerie Mannarino, Friend
  • Joe was just a real quality guy who always had a kind word for you. Whenever I spoke to him at Cantor, I usually walked away with a smile on my face. He was a friendly person who treated everyone with respect. My thoughts and prayers go out to Joe and the Hasson family.

    Matt Spero, Former Co-Worker
  • Joey-I remember your terrible car accident in college. We all prayed so hard for you to make it through and you did. You were always so full of life and fun. You made Terry S. and I laugh all the time. I was the snooty girl from Connecticut and you were the crazy Brooklyn kids. You always brought a smile to everyone’s face…crazy Joe! My Jonathan died with you on Sept. 11th. I wonder if you ever met. Mary, know that you are not alone. Love Julie

    Julie Buoy Uman, College Friend
  • I used to talk to Joe about trade problems when he worked in shorts and I was in operations. He was one of the nicest and most helpful guys I dealt with. I remember his great smile and his obvious joy in life. I will keep his family in my prayers.

    Kerry Ferrara, Former co-worker
  • JOE

    I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR LAUGHER AND KIDDING

We love you very much- until we meet again…Lori and Scott Bailey

    Lori and Scott Bailey, Friend
  • To my brother Joe. I always looked up to you and always will. Your strength and your passion for life showed me the true meaning of what it means to feel alive. It is those feelings and emotions that I promise to teach your son. He will know his fathers heart and soul, he will know his fathers dreams and passions, and most of all, he will know his fathers love.Y our memory lives on in so many.
    I never got to tell you this, but I am so proud of you Joe. I know at times we had our differences, but I also knew that I could count on you whenever I needed you. You have honored me with the responsibility as god father to your son, and I swear that I will not let you down. I will always be there for your wife Mary and your son Joe. Till we meet again my brother.
    Love your devoted brother Chris

    Chris Hasson, Brother
  • I was lucky to be Joe Hasson’s friend. Any time I ever spent with Joe, he had the ability to make you feel good. He was always truly happy to see you. Joe’s zest for life was contagious. You couldn’t get through a conversation with Joe on the 27 bus without him using words like “GREAT.. AMAZING..BEST and LOVE”

    I was lucky to visit with Mary and Little Joe yesterday.

    Mary’s strength is AMAZING
    Little Joe is doing GREAT
    As a friend you are the BEST
    Thank you for the LOVE.

  • How lucky we were to have known you even for the small moments in time, you affected our lives in a way that only truely special people can.

    Maureen & Howard Kershner, Friend
  • I will always remember Joe as a man of true intellect and an enormous curiosity about life. Joe had a boundless enthusiasm. One year when I took a trip to Italy, Joe got so excited that he spent days working on a list of places for me to visit, eat at and stay in while I was there. The list was 5 pages long. He loved to talk about books and movies. He could always be counted on to have an opinion, regardless of the topic during the long hours we worked together.He never shied away from a good argument! My heart breaks for you Mary and for the entire Hasson family. Joe will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

    Liz Mulholland, Friend and Co-Worker
  • Joe, I can’t find the words to express how much you are missed here. The first time I met you I saw why my sister was so happy and in love – you were so full of life. On 9/11 I called to tell you what happened & to get you home safely to us, but I was unsuccessful. God gave you & Mary a beautiful blessing (baby Joseph). I will do everything to the best of my ability to help her raise your son. I know you’re with Rob watching over us. Please give us the strength & guidance! Until we meet again…
    Love you, “Teenie”

    Tina, Sister-in-Law
  • Dear Joe, We were so lucky to have you and your family live across the street from us. It was always a special day when I went home and ran into you. Your smile went straight to my heart. Even my chidren knew you were special. I will never forget the day my daughter hugged you and didn’t want to let you go. She, as liitle as she was, felt the warmth in your heart and smile. I thank you and your beautiful Mary for little Joe. His smile is yours and brings a smile to everyone he sees. You were like a brother to me and my brother Victor. He always said you lived your life 110% and that lesson will never die. You have taught us all so much. My brother misses you and so do we all. Look out for us. We love you so much.

    Terry Samaha Lewis, friend forever
  • To My Darling Son Joseph,
    It has taken me this long to write something for this memorial web page because how can I condense the way I feel about you in so few words. I loved you from the moment that you were conceived & I am grateful for every day you were in my life. I miss your sweet face, your dazzling smile, your wonderful personality, your zest for life & all the love you showered on everyone. I try to live every day in honor of your beautiful spirit. I treasure your incredible son & will spend the rest of my life thanking God for giving me you. My heart is broken & life will never be the same but I will go on because you would want me to. I pray you will continue to strengthen us all & help us face life without you. The world will never be as glorious as it was the 34 years you were here on earth. You will be in my heart always.
    Love & Kisses,
    Mom
    P.S. Choochie sends lots of licks too!

    Paulette Hasson, Mother
  • text Hi Joe. I miss you so very much. I just finished entering Mommy’s tribute to you & it had to be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Wasn’t it beautiful? I still can’t comprehend this whole thing. I feel your presence so greatly; it’s as if you never left us. The days keep passing though & you still haven’t come up to see me & steal a drink & leave the empty bottle! I’d have it stocked if I just knew you’d come by.
    We’re all hanging in there. There’s a big void in all of our lives. You should be here enjoying your beautiful son & wife, experiencing all the joys you so deserved to. He’s getting so big. Mary’s the best Mommy as we all knew she would be. She’s even looking out for me & Georgianna like you would ask her to. You were both right, Georgianna’s much better since I switched her to formula! The two of them are already the best of friends & will be forever, we’ll all see to that. I know you are watching over us all from above. He took an Angel from us but luckily left us two to help us go on. We’ll stick together & you will always be with us.
    I love you Joe.

    Victoria Zanotto, Sister
  • To my very closest cousin, Joseph. I want you to know that George and talk about you often and miss
    you a lot! The very last night we were all together at Shea Stadium truly exemplified what you were about. When we met you that night we were immediately immersed in this amazing aura that you have. You had this energy, this enthusiasm, along with a desire to lift our spirits which made us feel so incredible that night, and whenever we were together. Your main focus was always on how to make us feel great. That is how you always were with us
    and everybody else. Even a simple small exchange of words with stangers or being in someones presence you could put a smile on their face like few others could. I saw it that night and every time we were together. Even when you showed me pictures of your beautiful son for the first time, you immediately remarked on how lucky you were to have Mary as the Mother of your child and wife.You told me Mary was the greatest and you didn’t know what you would do without her. The emphasis was always on others. I want you to know that when Georgie and I get together for any sporting event we often reminisce about the great times we had together. Georgie’s face just lights up when we talk about our times together. Cousin Joe, we Love you and once again miss you tremendously.

  • Dear Joe – Although I have never had the pleasure of knowing you as well as everyone else (I met you a few times at your mom’s) I feel as if I do because of your sister. She always spoke so highly of you and was so proud of you – she loved you so much. I love Vicky the way your friends loved you so I feel her pain , and I will be there for her. I remember when she called me and told me I just cried with her on the phone. You may have been taken to do another job but you will always live on in the lives of the people you touched. May God watch over you and your family. – love cindy (Vicky’s friend)

    Cindy Cavanaugh, Vicky's friend
  • Hi I’m Vicky’s friend and I would like to send this poem I read to Joe’s family and everyone else he touched.

    LOVE LIVES ON
    Those we love remain with us
    for love itself lives on,
    And cherished memories never fade
    Because a loved one’s gone…

    Those we love can never be
    more than a thought apart,
    For as long as there is memory,
    They’ll live on
    in the heart.

    Joe – may your strength live on and help your family cope.

    Cindy Cavanaugh, Vicky's friend
  • I never wondered what the amazing thing was about my husbands friend “Joe Hasson”- because I was blessed in this life to have known him as my own true friend as well. So I always knew and tresured the lasting and loving affects of his friendship. I have never taken the meaning of friendship very lightly, but Joe has shown me that to be a friend you must love with your whole heart and soul or not at all. I am greatful for the memories which will be carried on and shared among the many of us he has touched so deeply and I will never forget the uncontrollable belly laughs he gave me or the simple little jokes. The years that have passed we have shared many dreams and planned for so many more and without you Joe- nothing will be the same. But I will always try to be a better person because of you, and I pray that God will guide us all to a place where it doesn’t hurt to remember. Thank you for you Joe,and for Mary, who will always be a part of my life and will never be alone.

    Forever Love,

  • Dear Joe & Victoria,
    This is absolutely very touching, and through
    your tribute to your son and brother I feel like
    I knew him. How wonderful he must have been, I think that it is great that you can express how you feel about your son and brother. I to had a great loss not on 9/11 but I do know that feeling
    of loss and having that hole in your heart that will never mend. Just looking at his picture you can tell what a kind warmhearted individutal he was and yes his memory will live on forever, and yes he would want you all to go on living.
    You are all in my heart always,
    Fran Newman (SI B&T).

  • I always heard Tommy talk of “Three-fingered Joe”, but never heard a last name. When I saw Joe’s sister tribute to Tommy and she mentioned that nickname, I finally knew who the “Three-fingered Joe” was. I am just sorry it had to be under such horrible circumstances. We have heard that Tommy and Joe were together that terrible day,and it does help knowing that they were with people that they loved and were not alone when their time came. Our hearts break for Joe’s family because we know all too well what they are dealing with, but as with our family, I am sure your wonderful memories of Joe help make it possible to go on. Your family is in our prayers always.

  • To the Hasson family I can’t put into words how truly bad I feel. I met Joe through a friend of mine who worked with Joe. His name is Gary Ekelund. I would see Joe at the gym and he always was happy and upbeat. God bless him and his family. He is with God know and I know he is at peace. Love and peace! TOM

  • Joe,

    I’m sorry I didn’t make your service. I was too choked up about Alex. Joe, I’m sure hung tough, you were a hard man. You are a HERO. I was fortunate to know you. You have a tremendous family, don’t worry about the little man.

    Love Wendy, Sean, Maggie and Jack

  • Hey Joe,
    It’s 6 months now since 9/11 and I have to say everytime I make my way into work or think about what happened that day I think of everyone that we lost that day, But you come into my thoughts more often then others. Since the first time we met we became friends and talked about how bad the Rangers were and that we should buy the team. I think about the expression “He’d give the shirt off his back for you” when I think about you Joe because thats just what you did that one night we were out late. Instead of making me go home late you said “Nah stay over my place I got clothes for work”, and you didn’t take no for an answer. I’ll miss you bud. Your family, Mary and your son will be in my prayers. Thanks for being such a great friend. Rock.

    Andy Ruocco, Friend/ co-worker
  • Dear Joseph: Although we are not family, I feel very close to you and the Hasson Family. I know you’re watching your family and the rest of us who will never forget you. I am close to you because of my affection and respect for your Mom and Dad. I feel their pain (as a parent) and wish I could help them in some way. There isn’t a day that passes that you are not in my thoughts and prayers. September 11 will live in all our hearts for eternity., I know that God blesses you and will protect the family, especially Joseph IV. God Bless you always. With love, Malakie

  • I REMEMBER JOE ALWAYS SMILING, HE WAS THE HAPPIEST GUY I EVER MET! HE WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH AND WE HAD MANY LAUGHS TOGETHER!! I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER MY FRIENDS AND ALWAYS THINK OF THEM FOREVER. WE WERE MORE LIKE FAMILY THAN CO-WORKERS! I WILL NEVER HAVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AGAIN SO I HAVE MEMORIES TO CHERISH!!

    JOSEPHINE CORBO, FORMER CO WORKER
  • If one word can sum up Joey for me, it is cool. He was one of the coolest guy’s I ever had the pleasure of knowing. We would always talk about music and sports and we could go on & on about it. We both loved Hendrix and could reflect on the great licks & solos that he did or we could remember the Rangers winning the Cup in ’94 like it was yesterday. We both lived in Bay Ridge and I remember going to his house on 82nd street for a GSB barbecue and once going over to battle him in Sega Hockey(he beat me). I remember how proud he was telling me of the birth of his son and my heart goes out to his family, his wife Mary and his son. I will never forget Joe Cool.

    Rob Emery, Friend/Co-Worker
  • It has been almost 9 months since you were taken from us. Everything has been lessened by your absence. We may laugh or smile at family gatherings but it is not the same. We all miss you terribly and think of you constantly. Little Joe is a true marvel…he reminds us all of you as a little guy. I will always cherish our last hug on Sept 10…i am so glad i told you i loved you. Until we reunite, Dad.

    Joseph J. Hasson Jr, Father
  • Joey,
    You always made me laugh and accepted me for who I was. Remember that time you wanted to buy me a pair of dress shoes just so we could go to a fancy French restaurant(ha ha).You know how I hated to get dressed up. You are a very special person to us all and will never be forgotten. I will keep the promise I made to you about teaching your son Rock-n-Roll if it’s the last thing I do. PEACE AND LOVE DON-EE.

    Donna, Sister In Law
  • Dear Joe,
    I have such wonderful memories of you. I remember feeling like nothing is going right for me and you would call and knew I was feeling down. You would then say I’m coming to pick you up and your spending the weekend with me and your sister “you did that a lot”. You had the ability to make me feel like I was someone who had alot to offer people. Your morning smile, quick wit, and unconditional love of life and people. I never knew how much I’d miss that. You will forever be in my heart. Love and Miss you Bro !!

  • To my Dearest Joseph,
    There isn’t a day that goes by without tears, smiles or yells. I still can’t believe that this has happened to us. Without you life isn’t the same and never will be. There is only one reason I go on and that’s our son Joe IV. He is going to be 1 yrs old in less than two weeks. I’m giving him a huge Birthday party just like you would want. What he has accomplished so far is amazing. He walks, talks, climbs (strong like you) and flirts with everyone.
    He smiles from morning till night (again like you). You would be proud. He is a special boy. Handsome too …I know your watching over us, but I sure wish you were here . Thank you again for giving me a part of you. I Miss and Love you more Today than Yesterday.

  • DEAREST JOE:

    NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON’T MISS YOU. I ASK YOU FOR YOUR HELP EVERY DAY AND YOU ALWAYS COME THROUGH FOR ME. YOU HAVE A SON WHO IS SO MUCH LIKE YOU. HE IS ALWAYS SMILING, SO HAPPY, SO SMART AND, OH, SO, SO BEAUTIFUL. YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF HIM. YOUR WIFE MARY IS DOING A GREAT JOB RAISING HIM. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO COMFORT HER AS HER PAIN IS SO SEVERE. I SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS I CAN WITH THE BOTH OF THEM. LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN LIFE.

  • Joe, You became one of our High School Lacrosse captains after only playing the sport one season. I think this is because you were a great leader and full of positive energy. You also picked up the sport quickly and kept everyone loose (when we needed it) with your good humor. I always felt as if I could count on you. I went to a special gathering, in your honor, of Poly friends last night. I was so touched at how fondly you are remembered. Your spirit lives with us today. Thanks for being a friend and a part of my life.

    Ken Ades, Friend - High School Mates
  • I met Joe in the 7th grade at Poly. The years that followed were full of good times and lots of laughter– a lot of which came from Joe. I am grateful to have known Joe during the most impressionable years of my life. The tributes I have just read only reinforce the great impact Joe had in this world and to all the people who have had the pleasure to know him.
    The strength, courage and love for life will continue to live on with Mary and little Joe. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Nicole Cairrao, Poly friend
  • I know we only met twice- but I remember you. I remember you as Arthur’s “nice” friend Joe. I am so thankful for your wife Mary’s friendship. It goes without saying that she is strong. It amazes me how with all that goes on, she can still ask me how my day is? There’s nothing I would not do for your son. He is beautiful and smart. Mary, even started teaching him a second language, spanish. I didn’t now you long- but I will know you forever. I am blessed to see your reflection in both Mary and your son.

    Marianne Bertuna, Mary's New Friend
  • I knew Joe mostly from managing the lacrosse team and my mom went to high school with Joe’s mom. Since 9/11 I have had Joe and others in the Poly family in my thoughts and prayers. We cannot know your sorrow but we can extend our hearts and hands. Use the love Joe gave you to continue on, and know that he is always in your hearts and in the thoughts of many.
    With deepest sympathy,
    Mary

  • To the entire Hasson family, let me first offer you my deepest condolences for your terrible loss. To read the heartfelt tributes to Joseph can bring anyone to tears but not a word of it is untrue. We all can learn alot by the way Joe lived his life and treated everyone who had the pleasure and good fortune of befriending him. I, for one, have many fond memories that I will always cherish. May God grant you all the strength to continue as Joseph would have wanted.

  • DEAR JOE:

    CHRISTMAS HAS COME AND GONE AND THE NEW YEAR IS HERE (BUT NOT YOU) – YOUR SON JOSEPH WAS SUCH A BLESSING THIS CHRISTMAS. HE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE TREE, THE LIGHTS AND THE GIFTS. HE OPENED HIS GIFTS ONE BY ONE, EXAMINED THEM AND THEN WANTED TO HELP EVERYONE ELSE OPEN THEIR GIFTS. DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS HE TOLD HIS MOTHER THAT HE LIKED CHRISTMAS, NOT BECAUSE OF THE GIFTS, BUT BECAUSE HE LIKED ALL THE PEOPLE COMING TO VISIT HIM. HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL JOE. SO WONDERFUL TO BE AROUND. HE TALKS A MILE A MINUTE AND NOT BECAUSE HE IS MY NEPHEW, BUT EVERYONE WHO MEETS HIM SEES HOW SMART HE IS BESIDES SO BEAUTIFUL. I SEE HIM EVERYDAY AND EACH DAY HE SURPRISES ME WITH SOMETHING NEW. HE IS SO POLITE, SO SWEET. I AM SO GLAD THAT HE LIKES TO HANG OUT WITH ME IN MY APARTMENT – WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN PLAYING TOGETHER. HE IS THE BABY I NEVER HAD. WE MAKE POPCORN, WE PAINT, PLAY ON THE COMPUTER. MARY IS A GREAT MOTHER (WHICH I ALWAYS KNEW SHE WOULD BE) IT’S SO SAD AND UNFORGIVING THAT YOU NEVER HAD TIME WITH THIS PRECIOUS BOY. AS ALWAYS I ASK FOR YOUR GUIDANCE. MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

  • Dearest Joe:

    The loss of your life was a tragedy to our families that noone will ever forget. At the same time you have a “Son” who has so much of you inside of him that he makes everyone be reminded of you because he is “You”. Your mother is the one who knows and sees this. The things he does, his actions, his moves, his stubborness. He is such a joy and he makes so many people “Happy”. At your brother’s wedding he was the perfect ring bearer. For Easter he was such a delight to wake up next too and hear him saying “Happy Easter” and lastly his first school picture that he is just adorable. So innocent, so sweet. You and Mary certainly created a child that everyday he amazes us. I wish you could have had some time with “Your Son”
    He and I have a good aunt/nephew relationship. I’m told I spoil him, but hey, so what. He’s Aunt Tina’s little boy.

    Love & Miss You,
    Teenie

    TEENIE, SISTER IN LAW
  • To My Dearest Joseph,
    Let’s see should I talk first of my pain or our son’s pain. I don’t know which is worse. I still don’t know how I function everyday with this continuous ache I feel for you and how much I need you to be happy. Our little boy gives me great Joy but everything else in this life is just there. Everyones life is moving forward and I’m just watching in the wings. I know I should be doing what you would want me to do which is enjoy life to the fullest but I can’t seem to accept that way of thinking just yet. Lil Joe is turning three and is so smart he talks of you all the time, he is always saying you taught him this or you like this kind of toy whatever he is doing at the time he refers to you. Maybe he is seeing you but when he cries that he wishes you were here and he wants to play with you it just kills me that it is so unfair your not with us and I can’t give our son what he truly needs. He is doing great in school,loves everyone, very athletic I have him in gymnastics now, he is even going to have his party at the gym. It isn’t surprising how he is developing because he is truly your son. I can talk for hours but I know your watching us and keeping us safe. I know there will come a day we will never part but until we meet again I’ll keep you in my heart..MISS AND LOVE YOU ALWAYS

    Mary, Beloved Wife
  • DEAR JOSEPH:

    THE THIRD YEAR OF NOT HAVING YOU WITH US IS APPROACHING AND I STILL WISH YOU WOULD WALK THRU
    THE FRONT DOOR OF 9201 SHORE ROAD. I MISS YOU TERRIBLY AND I KNOW YOUR SON DOES ALSO AS HE SPEAKS OF YOU ALL THE TIME. HE IS ALWAYS TELLING ME STORIES ABOUT “HIS DADDY” IT IS AMAZING THE IMAGINATION YOUR BEAUTIFUL SON HAS. HIS LOVE OF MUSIC IS ASTOUNDING. HIS LOVE FOR HIS MOTHER IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THEY ARE NOT ONLY “MOTHER & SON” BUT “BEST FRIENDS”. THEY ARE INSEPARABLE. I DO KNOW THAT HE LOVES ME (MY LITTLE BOY) I SPOIL HIM, BUT WHO CARES. THERE ARE TIMES I WISH I COULD KEEP HIM SMALL FOREVER. I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HIM. HE IS SO SMART AND SO STRONG. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A FUTURE OLYMPIAN IN OUR MIDST. HE
    EXCELLS AT EVERYTHING HE DOES. ANYTHING HE PUTS HIS MIND TO HE ACCOMPLISHES. TO SEE HIM ON THE COMPUTER HE TELLS ME AUNT TINA YOU DON’T HAVE TO HELP ME I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

    AS PROMISED TO YOU I WILL STILL CONTINUE TO DO MY BEST FOR LITTLE JOSEPH AND MARY. YOUR GUIDANCE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE NEEDED BY ME.
    LOVE & MISS YOU,

  • Hey Big Bro, it’s been awhile. I was checking out some CD’s on-line & came across some English Beat. I listened to some clips and I could just picture us driving to school in the Honda with Arthur, Dennis and Victor blasting it over the tapedeck! That’s after you finished yelling at me for being late, as usual! Oh how I wish we could go back. I miss you so much & think of you always. Love you loads & loads & loads.

    I can’t believe I’m wishing you another Happy Birthday in Heaven. This is the 4th time already & I still can’t believe it. You would’ve been 38 & I could just scream because it’s so not right that you’re not here with us enjoying your devoted wife & beautiful son & making everyone around you so happy as you always did.
    Georgianna & I were at Poly today. Did you like her Elmo balloon she got you? She said she misses you & God, so do I. I love you so.

  • To my dearest Joe,
    If you haven’t noticed by now I only write to you when our son has another birthday and the reason for this is when you write a letter to someone usually its because you can’t talk to them I guess I can’t accept that fact yet. I miss you so much I just want to give up sometimes to be with you again but I can’t do that to our son and I know you wouldn’t want that either. Babe he is so much like you more and more each day. He is really starting to bond with Georgianna since they started Poly Camp together which I know makes you happy. I promise he will protect and love her as you did your sister. When he was opening his birthday presents he turned to me and said Mom did daddy help you pick out these great presents and I said of course Joe he is with me and you all the time.He said Thanks Dad. So many moments like that are when I just question how did this happen to us ? You being here loving all of us just made us better people, well me for sure. Keep watching and giving us stength. I know you would be proud of our son- Im doing my best..Lots of Hugs and Kisses your way..Love me..

    The Holidays here and gone and I wish you were with us, but God had other plans for you. Your Son was just so perfect during the holidays. He appreciated everything he received and thanked everyone for his presents. He is truly a Blessed Child one that I love more than life itself. I know I say this all the time, but you and him together would have been some team. We are going to start another New Year 2006 and with your strength and guidance we will get thru it. I miss you very much and there are times Joe when I feel you thru your Son. He has days it is almost like you are inside of him.

    Hope you had a happy 39th birthday in Heaven. We celebrated your beautiful life that was cut so short by those monsters in the usual way. Mom cooked a fabulous meal & we ate & drank & laughed & cried. We all miss & love you so much, it’s very hard for EVERYONE that loves you & there are so many. How about the newest addition to the family? Isn’t Julian a cutie? I bet Uncle Julian was honored. Hope you guys had fun celebrating! We are all so thrilled but it’s bittersweet. If only you were here, everything would be truly joyful & everyone would be truly happy. I hope those monsters who took you away from us rot in Hell where they belong. I love you so much my big beautiful brother. You are sorely missed & will never be forgotten.XXOO.

    Just wanted you to know that I think about you everyday and I am sure you have seen what I have accomplished this past year. Your Son as you also know made the Delta Program. He does always tell his mother and me that he is a genius (like his Dad) His 5th Birthday is approaching and he is just as sweet and lovable as from the day he was born. I love being with him. We have so much fun together. I took him to a baseball game this past weekend and he was telling the guys once he gets a big boys bat and glove he is going to come and play on the team. They all love him. Just wanted to say please keep giving me strength and guidance when it comes to your Son. He is a wonderful boy. Miss you and love you.

  • To my dearest Joe,
    I can’t figure out which is worse you not being here for our sons birthday or not being able to celebrate you on fathers day. As if it was yesterday I can still see and feel how proud you were on 6/17/01 when Joseph came into this world, I turned to you and said Happy Fathers Day. I failed many times in my life but not that day. I’m trying so hard to remember the life lesson you taught me to be happy and enjoy life. I still pray for your return everyday but I guess I need to be patient until that time comes. Josephs 5th Birthday lasted 2 days just like you liked to party party party. We went to the Chocolate Factory with classmates, friends and cousins and had a great time. Then the next day big pool party at Nana and Beccas house. There were lots of presents and he still wants more. He is smart, handsome, funny, kind, strong, sensitive, tough and spoiled but most of all a true gift of your spirit.Did you get the balloons we sent up to you ? I’m still doing the best I can. I hope I’m making you proud. We both miss you very much he talks to you often so I hope you’re listening. By the way Thanks for showing up out there in the middle of the ocean I was needing you around. Love you more today than yesterday…Your Bride.

    Still can’t believe or accept that 5 years have past and you are not here with us. So many people miss you especially your wife and son. You and Mary created such a beautiful child together that it is so very sad the both of you are not together raising him. He is the cutest, the sweetest, the smartest child I have ever known. To me he is the baby that I never had. I do so enjoy spending time with him. He is just awesome. Please always watch over us and continue to give me your strength and guidance when it comes to your Son.

  • As I grow older I’ll always remember the father/son days up on the 105th floor. I tried to write something on my fathers tribute before and it wasn’t working so give him my regards. Anyway I’ll always remember the one day where I came to work with my father and I wasn’t feeling well and when my father had to go speek to someone you were right there to make me feel like I was alright.
    and another thing I’ll always remember the saying “gimme three” because of you.
    Until I see you again, have a good time with him up there, and you know who I’m talkin about.

He is just so much fun to be with. You never know what he might do. I want to say not a day goes by that I don’t think of you.

    Well tomorrow 5/8/07 I will have 2 years. Are you proud of me ? Honestly, I am proud of myself. I will be celebrating on Thursday and your beautiful Son will be giving me my 2 year coin. He is my Guardian Angel here on earth and I just love him more than life itself. Without Joseph and Mary in my life, I wouldn’t have been able to do this. This is an overwhelming week for me. Not only my 2 years, but on Friday 5/11/07 there is a Street Naming Ceremony for you my wonderful brother in law. Oh how I wish you were here Joey.
    I know it is going to be a beautiful ceremony. When my sister does something you know it’s done first class. Hey, that’s why you married her. You knew you were getting the BEST. Please continue to watch over us, give us strength and guidance, not only for today, but always.

    Love you and miss you every day,

    Teenie

  • Hey Big Brother! Sorry it’s been so long. My computer was screwed up & every time I tried to check out the site I couldn’t. Got a nice new one though & it’s working like a charm. I miss you so much. Been working hard trying to keep my head above water & not let this place get me down. I know you’re in a much better place & I look forward to the day we meet again. Wish you’d come take Nana to be with you, that’s no life. She can make you some ravioli & be her old self. The Street Naming was beautiful. What an honor. So now you like to hang out in the trees. Did you like my speech? Well it’s late & I better get to bed. I’ll write soon. I love & miss you more than ever.
    Your Loving Sister xxoo

  • Dearest Joe:

    Well the day is approaching “Father’s Day” the day your Son was born six (6) years ago. I can’t believe you are gone this long and Joseph is going to be six. He is very excited about his birthday (like he is every year). He is getting so big (too fast for me). He is a very independent little boy, wants to do everything himself. He helps me so much and he is only six. Imagine when he is 13 what he will be doing for me. The three of us went to Orlando, Florida and had a wonderful time. You should have been there with your family, not me, but as I promised you almost 6 years ago, that I would always be there for Mary and Joseph. Nothing could ever come between us. Love and miss you Joe. Hate to say this but “Happy Father’s Day in Heaven”. Continue to watch over us.

    Love
    Teenie

  • Dearest Joe:

    Well today your Son started First Grade. He is an amazing boy. It stinks that you have not been here with your wife and son these past 6 years. So unfair. What I really want to say and what I really feel inside me I would say, but, will it bring you back to us NO so why get myself all bent out of shape. You are terribly missed. Please continue to watch over us. Continue to give us strength and guidance. Love and miss you very much.

  • Hello my Big Beautiful Brother:-)
    I’m listening to “Blue Monday” by New Order right now & thinking of you, & missing you, as usual. Mary had it right today what she said. If only. Mike did a great job, again, with the outting. Thanks for helping me out with that pink ball! Never would have lived that one down. Mike, Susan & family are amazing people. You were lucky to have such good friends, as they were you. You had good taste in friends, for the most part. Unfortunately, some, as you know, have not pulled their weight, not even a fraction of it. I was very dissapointed in you know who. I forget a lot, but…. Anyway, the Allman Bro’s are on right now. It’s all on my ipod. You would have loved that shit. You would’ve made the best playlists ever! I miss you so much. Always thinking about you. Always loving you. How I wish you were here. Things would’ve been so different & so much better. Thanks for all your help recently. I love you so much. XOXO

  • Hello my Big Beautiful Brother:-) I’m so annoyed because I wrote you the other night & it never came up. I know you got my message, but it’s still annoying, the problems with this site sometimes. Let’s see if this one comes up. Anyway, almost 6 years since those bastards took you away from us. Still can’t believe it. I miss you more than ever. Mary said it all the other day. She’s amazing. Lil’ Joe is brilliant in every way. Wish Georgie & him could get along a little better sometimes, but you know, they’re like brother & sister so, they love eachother so much yet want to strangle eachother! Not unusual.
    Played “Life” tonight. They changed up the game a little. It’s not as good as when we were kids. Still had fun though playing with Georgie. Just wish you could be playing with lil’ Joe & us & when Julian got older we could play with Chris & him. If only. If only so many things Joe.
    I think of you all the time & I’m so sorry you had to go. That you had to miss out on so much. I don’t understand & probably never will. I just hope we can all be together again one day & be happy again.
    I love you so much XXOO

    Merry Christmas to you in Heaven and of course to Mom, Robert, Frankie, Louis, Bobby and a few more of my friends that you might have met by now. Sure do wish you were here with us, but as you can see Joseph is keeping us on our toes, he is my Guardian Angel. I love him to death. He is just so lovable and sweet. He decorated for me this year. Couldn’t wait to put up the Christmas tree. Just like you, right Joe? Pestered his Mother as he wanted to put it up the day after Thanksgiving. Sound familiar. Please continue to watch over us, keep us strong,, give us guidance.

    Love and miss you,

  • Hey my big beautiful brother! Sorry it’s been so long. Been meaning to reach out for the holidays. You beat me to it. Thanks for taking Nana with you finally. You really came through for Mommy, as you always did. I know now you’re definitely havng a great New Year with Nana making ravioli for all of you up there. Just hope one day I’ll be allowed to spend eternity with you all. I miss my big brother so much. It pains me so to think about you, but it pains me more not to. I still can’t believe it. I’m trying so hard Joe. Please help me out. You always cared the most. I love you so much. Always did, always will. Need your help more than ever.

    Vicki, Sister
  • Dearest Joe:

    Happy 41st. Birthday in Heaven. Love and miss you. Have you been watching your son play soccer.
    He gets a little frustated sometimes, but it is so much fun watching him involved in sports. I am one of his biggest fans. Last year when he played baseball, Mary was afraid they were going to ask me to leave because once in a while I got a little loud. Love him beyond words.
    Keep watching over us with your strength and guidance.

    Love & miss you,

  • Dear Joe:

    Well as you are well aware your beautiful son will be turning 7. I must tell you I am getting scared about this. He is growing up so fast that I worry one day he will be so busy with his friends (boys and girls) he is not going to want to hang with Aunt Tina anymore. I had him this weekend and we had so much fun. He is so entertaining. His knowledge of music (wonder where he gets that from) amazes me. He knows not only the song but who sings them. I don’t even know this stuff. We were with Donna & Richard this weekend and in the car Richard playing some music Joseph wasn’t too crazy about and he kept asking him to change the station, so Richard & Donna told him they promised you that they would let him know about the Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones etc.. He answers them like this, Well I think I am a little too young to like this music now maybe when I am older. He has answers to most things that he comes across. He is such a pleasure to be around. Actually I have been in a funky sort of mood lately and after being with him this weekend it all seemed to pass and I had a great time with him.

    Love & Miss you,
    Teenie

I MISS YOU SO MUCH IT MAKES MY BODY ACHE..KEEP SENDING DOWN THE STRENGTH I NEED IT..SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS…YOUR WIFE

    Mary, Wife
  • Dearest Joe:

    That dreadful day is approaching since you were taken from us. Seven sad years we all have struggled to accept we would no longer see you again. Yet, we do see you. In your son Joseph. To me he is really starting to look like you. He loves school and he especially loves his music. I bought him his first i-pod and I get such pleasure watching him sing and dance while listening to his music. He knows more of today’s songs and artists than I do. He is a wonderful boy. He is so grown up for 7 years old. Very very close and protective of his mother who I know suffers everyday without you. It is so sad that you were taken away from all of us. Please continue to give me strength and guidance in the care of your son.

    Love & Miss you,
    Teenie

  • To My Big Beautiful Brother,
    It’s been 7 years & it seems like yesterday that you were taken from us. I miss you more than words could say. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I long for you to be here so I could talk to you face to face. To see that beautiful smiling face of yours. The one that made so many people happy & feel good about themselves. Everybody misses you. We’ll be together today, remembering & cherishing the short time we had with you. I’ll make sure to have a few for you! I haven’t played Casino since you left. There’s no one I’d rather play with. I guess it’ll have to wait until I meet you again. Maybe one day I could teach Georgie & Joe & tell them how we used to play together, me & my big bro. So many things have changed since you’re gone, as you know. Your loss has had such an impact on all of us. I can’t tell you how many times the words “Things would be so different if Joe was still here.” Tragically, you aren’t & there’s a great big void in all our lives that can never be filled. We continue to move forward but can never really get past that day. I’m trying my best & look to you for guidance always. I love you so much & am so thankful I have you for a brother. You’re the best Joe. Much love,
    Vicki

  • Dearest Joe:

    Merry Christmas to you in Heaven. Please continue to watch over all of us and give a little extra strength, love and guidance to Mary.
    She misses you so much, it hurts sometimes to look at her. Your son Joseph, who really never had the chance to get to know his wonderful Dad misses you much and is always telling Mary how unfair it is to him that he doesn’t have a Dad.
    You and him together would have been “TROUBLE”, but loved by all.

    Love & Miss you,

  • Hello My Big Beautiful Brother! Miss & love you as always. Hope you had a nice Christmas in Heaven. I guess Heaven is “The Place to Be” on Christmas! I’m sure you had a rockin time but I wish you could’ve been here with us where you belong & then everything would’ve been Merry like it’s supposed to be. Keep watching over us. You are loved & missed more than you can imagine. Happy New Year. xoxo.

  • I just wanted you to know that I love you more than ever. How I wish I could trade places with you my son. Your son Joe is a marvel and very much like you. Mary has done a great job with him. I sense I am starting to ramble. Til we meet again, always Dad.

  • Dear Joe:

    Happy Easter in Heaven. Love & Miss you. Joseph spent Saturday & Sunday with me and we had a ball. He is so grown up for just 7-1/2. He is so smart Joe. He actually teaches me things. I love being around him and he is so independent. He wants to do everything himself. Until we meet again, just want you to know that as long as I am here on earth, I will always watch over and protect Joseph the best that I can.

    Love & Miss you,

  • Dearest Joe:

    Sorry haven’t written in awhile, but as I know that this past weekend you were watching over your Son as he tried for his Blackbelt, but he is such a joy to all us and we all were hurting because he didn’t break the 5 pieces of wood to get him his Black Belt, but he told his Mom, me and Uncle Steve that he was nervous, and he knew why also because he didn’t scream in Korean as he hit those five pices of wood to break. He does have his black outfit, but in one (1) month he will be able to try again for this Black Belt. Joe he so grown up that I can’t believe in 10 days he will be 8 years old. As I have told you in the past, if I could change places with you I would do so in a minute so that you would be home here in Bay Ridge Brooklyn with Mary and your Son Joseph. Miss you and one day we will be together.

  • Dear Joe:

    Well that day is here again Eight (8) years without you. How pitiful, how sad, how unfair that your life 34 years on this earth was cut short by these sick people. I know that you are always watching over your son. As you can see he is as handsome as his Dad. Great personality, so smart, so inquisitive, wants to know everything. We all miss you very much and wish you were here in Brooklyn with us making us laugh,always so full of life, energy, enthusiam. Never a dull moment around you and how I miss that. God Bless you and continue watching over me, and Mary and your son Joseph John Hasson IV.

    Love you,

    I am writing again to let you know how much you are Loved & Missed by all. Your son is one of God’s most Blessed little boys. He is so smart, so athletic, such a pleasure to be around. It is so unfortunate you had no time with this gift from God. I know you continue to watch over him and his Mom, so please never stop. One day we will all be together.

  • Hello My Big Beautiful Brother! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written. But you know even though I don’t write I’m thinking of you every moment of everday. Oh how I wish you were here. I remember the time I came up to your room to cry to you about breaking up with Eric. You listened, you cared, & you got me through what I thought was a difficult time; & at the time it was. But who knew how much more difficult life would get. All I know is I’m trying so hard to take care of things. I know my choices haven’t always been the best, but I always believe in people that aren’t what they seem. I do what it takes but it’s not reciprocated. So I must move on. I just wish I could go see you & tell you what’s been going on & you wouldn’t judge me. You’d back me up & give me the confidence I need…you always made me feel loved & special; your little sister who you were always there to guide & protect however you could. I know you’re here helping me out from above but I also know I’ve got to take things into my own hands & I’m making some steps towards that. I look to your guidance along the way. I feel you there Joe, just wish you were really here so you couldn’t let me stray. I hope you understand what I’ve done. I’ve been foolish. Please help me to find the strength to move forward & take control of my life. I’m making strides but it isn’t easy without you here to kick me in the ass! I love & miss you nore than you’ll ever know…I’m so sorry you’re not here to enjoy the life you enbraced so much. You lived everyday to the fullest & I strive to be like you…I miss you so much. Life will never be the same without you.
    Goodnight, love you so much,

  • Dear Joe:

    It’s been a while, just wanted to say Hello and tell you that you are missed so very much. I know you are watching, but your Son very competitive now playing on two baseball teams. I just love watching him, his face, the determination when he gets up to that plate how I can see he just wants to whack that ball over everyone’s head. I love him so much, he is doing good in school and I am looking forward to this weekend as I have him Saturday and Sunday and maybe going with him to meet Jeff Hardy. I know we have baseball on Sunday, it doesn’t matter as long as he is with me that’s all I care about. Keep watching over all of us, giving us your guidance and strength to get through those days when we wish you were wish us. Until we meet in Heaven,

    Love,
    Teenie

    Teenie, Sister in Law
  • Well Joe – I missed it on Sunday, but did you catch your Son Joseph getting the hit and bringing home the winning run? He looks so good playing baseball. So determined, so involved and then he gets very angry if he strikes out or gets called out. Besides hitting the ball, he loves to steal bases. Oh how I wish you were here to see this. I know you are watching over him, but it’s not the same. In four weeks your son will be nine years old. He is still my little boy, whom I love dearly. Until we meet I will always Love and Miss you,

    Teenie

    Teenie, Sister in Law
  • Dearest Joe:

    Just wanted to drop a line to let you know you are so very missed and thought about so very much. As you know Joseph’s team METS didn’t win championship, BUT Mary is going to let him try out for Flag Football – I have never seen this game played, but I am looking forward to it. I just love watching him play sports. His baseball coach said he has a LOVE OF HEART, good player and when Joey little older he wants him to try out for travelling baseball. He is good, you and I both know that. If he had you here with him, teaching him, throwing football to him, pitching baseballs to him, all things Father & Son’s do together, mark my words he would have been an ALL STAR this year. I love and miss you.

  • Joey:

    Well tomorrow is our day. The three of us are going to the Atlantis in the Bahamas and Joseph cannot wait to swim with the Dolphins. He knows that I can’t swim, but he tells me not to worry that he will protect me. He is such a Blessing from God and how I wish you were going with them and not me. Watch over us, protect us and one day we will all be together.

    Love and Miss you so very much,

    It is here again Nine (9) long years without you. It doesn’t get easier. The only solace is seeing your son Joseph growing up. He is going into the Fourth Grade, playing flag football, soccer and who knows what else he will do this year. The all around athlete. The golf outing was again a big success. Mike & Susan do such a wonderful job. You were very fortunate to have such wonderful friends. Mary and Joseph spend time with them. The girls love Joseph so does Christian. Don’t know what else to say except love you, miss you and continue to watch over all of us. Continue to give us strength and guidance each day. Until we meet in Heaven always remember you are missed more than you know.

  • 9/11/10
    The day I have come to dread is upon us. Nothing in my life has had a greater impact upon me than your loss. Little Joe is an amazing young man. I was with him when he received his black belt in tae kwon do. I somehow felt it was you. Words are so incapable of expressing my sense of loss but I have no other tools. I have never loved anyone more than I love you. Always in my heart, Dad.

    Joseph J. Hasson Jr., Father
  • Dearest Joe:

    Merry Christmas in Heaven to you and rest of family up there (hopefully) with you. Yes this will be your Son’s 9th. Christmas without his wonderful Dad, but you would be so proud of him Joey. He is so smart in school and outside of school, he is so athletic it is unbelievable. I think it’s great because he will call me up and say Aunt Tina can I come down and watch football with you ? Joey it’s the greatest feeling in the world being with him and watching sports. Your little boy may only be 9 years of age, but you would never know it. I love him beyond words. He is so helpful to me. I tease him and say you know Joseph Aunt Tina is 50 years older than you ? He just looks up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and says thats ok and then I ask him Joey when I get old and need help and before I can finish sentence he tells me not to worry that he will help me, go to the store for me, whatever I may need. God how I wish I could change places with you so you could be here with your son and your wife. I miss you that I can’t even imagine how lonely and how much your wife misses you and needs you. Her and Joseph are inseparable. He has many friends, he is so liked by all. He is kind and polite and Mary has done such a great job in raising him alone. Joey, love you and miss you. Keep watching over us and continue to give us all strength and guidance. Until we meet in Heaven you will always be in my thoughts and my heart.

    Love you,

  • Dearest Joe:

    Just wanted to wish you “HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN”
    and to tell you how much you are missed here on earth. Your Son Joseph has been a Blessing from God for all of us. You two would have been inseparable. He is so into sports. Matter of fact this weekend he has his last basketball game. I hope he gets at least 3 baskets. He plays really well and is most of all a team player. He doesn’t hog the ball. If someone is open he passes it. He is good in all the sports he participates in. I love watching and rooting for him. As long as I have breath inside of me and I can get to his games, I will always be his cheerleader. I love him very much. Miss you beyond words. Until we meet continue to give us all strength and guidance.

    Love you,

  • It’s so bittersweet to read about you here Joe. Bitter to witness the pain and loss of those that love you but sweet so read how much of you is kept alive through the messages left. For people like me that never knew you it offers a glimpse into who you were and how you were loved. Through reading what’s written here I have seen snippets of your son growing up and my heart aches for how much you have missed….as has he and your wife and all those who loved you. I am so sorry and it is all so very wrong and so very sad. I have a 4 year old daughter and thinking of what has happened to you all just makes me cry. I look at your picture and you just look so….nice, friendly and kind. The madness of so few took the lives of so many. I wish courage to all your family. Please accept the tears of a stranger passing by in honour of your memory. Tracey P from England. XXX

  • Well Joe:

    They finally got the son of a bitch, but I feel he didn’t suffer enough. They killed him and through his body in the ocean. Big deal. I wish we could have made him suffer like you and so many others. What about ALL of us still suffering today because we no longer have you in our lives. I wish they would have tortured him slowly and while still alive cut off his head. Shooting him once, twice even three times whatever, no justice served. He died to easily. Well baseball season here Joseph playing for Dodgers and I was told end of June going to LaCrosse classes. Hoping he will be as good as his father. He gets frustrated when he doesn’t hit the ball. Mary practices with him so does Steven as much as he can. Well Joe, still continue to watch over us, give us guidance and strength. Until we meet in Heaven.

    Love,

  • Dearest Joe:

    Well next Friday 6/17/2011 your little boy going to be 10 years old. What a Blessing he is. I don’t want him to get big I want him to stay little, but I know that is not possible. You have a wonderful son Joey. Handsome like his Dad, sweet, kind, smart, loveable just like you. He is a pleasure to be around. He helps me whenever he can. He is so active sports wise, he is into all sports. Every kind. Baseball is his favorite, but he knows football, basketball, soccer, hockey and now he is going to Poly Prep to learn LaCrosse. Maybe he will be a champion just like you. You are missed everyday not only by me, but by some many many people. Especially my sister Mary. No one will ever be able to replace you. I hurt for her, I wish she could me someone just to take her out every now and then as we all know there was only one Joseph John Hasson III. Your son loves his mother very much. He is very attached to her, but on occasion he will come downstairs and stay with me. I love him as if he was my own and I always will. Continue to watch over them. Continue to give us your strength and your guidance today and always. Until we meet I love and miss you.

    Love,
    Teenie

  • Hello my Big Beautiful Brother…God I miss u so:-( Georgianna’s 10th bday is Saturday & I should be so happy but I’m so sad because I know what’s coming up just 3 short weeks later…the 10th anniversary of 9/11 & you being taken away from us. I’m so glad they got that bastard but it doesn’t change anything. You’re still gone & like Tina said he got off too easy. Why do we have to be so humanitarian? They certainly weren’t. Well it comforts me to know he’s rotting in Hell while you’re in Paradise…hope I make it there one day…put a good word in for me! lol Oh Joe, I love you so much. You were the greatest brother! xoxoxoxoxo

  • Dear Joe:

    I have written two previous messages to you, but not on website. Hopefully you will get this one. Your son had his first touchdown on Sunday they beat opposing team 34-24. You should have been there to see his face light up. He is playing really good flag football this year. He is a great rusher. It was one of the most exciting games we have ever seen. Mary was so proud of him as you would be.

    Love & miss you,

  • Dearest Joe:

    So sorry I am late in writing to you as I think this the first time in 10 years that I am late. But old saying better late than never. None of us can believe that 10 years have gone by without you. Your radiant smile, your laugh, just your presence alone made such a difference in so many peoples lives. They built a beautiful Freedom Tower in honor of those who perished on 9/11 but that still doesn’t fill the void so many of us have especially your wife Mary and your wonderful son Joseph John Hasson IV. Joey, he is such a joy to be around. So sweet, kind, smart above all so active in all sports. Til the day comes that I can’t watch him play soccer, basketball, flag football anything he plays, I will always be there cheering him on. He is a team player and he will excel at one of these. Right now too early to tell which one. I love him as if he were my own. Continue to give us all guidance and strength and I will continue betting on those Dolphins in the hopes that one day again they will have a good team. Til we meet in your home in Heaven, please know that I Love and Miss you.

  • Dear Joe:

    Well don’t know what happened to my ten year 9/11 message to you, but I won’t even go there as you know you are dearly missed by so many people, so I will talk about your son Joseph. He playing with Jets this year flag football and he and the team are on fire. He plays with such determination. He almost had his first touchdown the other day, spinning and turning so that it was hard to get his flag. He will get some touchdowns this year, I know it. He is a great boy Joe a son you would have been so proud of. He didn’t know you, but you have so many friends that loved you and respected you that they will let Joseph know all about you when the time comes. Until we meet, please continue to give me strength and guidance.

    Love and Miss you

  • Joseph:

    Did you see that game on Saturday – Joey’s team the Jets not only did they have first place to themselves, but then they one the Championship in Flag Football 12 to 6. Great game. His position this year as a Rusher he was outstanding. You would have been so proud of your son just like all yours and mine family were there rooting the team on. Now he starts basketball and soccer. I love him to death Joey. He is such a Blessing from God.

    Til we meet I will still always need your strength and guidance.

    Love you,
    Teenie

    Guess you already know “Congratulations” are in order. Your son has gotten accepted into Poly Prep. How wonderful is that. I am so happy for Mary. She was a nervous wreck over this. Your Son kept saying “Mom stop worrying I will get accepted” and today he got the call. How good is that. On top of that today the NY GIANTS the SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS had their Parade today. Two things to celebrate.

    Love & Miss you,

He very excited about going to Poly Prep where his Dad went. He is going to exceed at anything he puts his mind to.
