Joey is just a wonderful young man and I’m proud to be his mom. He loves God, his family, and all his friends. He’s kind to all people.
I love him and I miss him.
I did not know Joseph. However, my husband Bruce (Chappy) Boehm worked with his father at Chapdelaine some years ago. I did meet his dad once. I felt very badly when I read that your son was working at Cantor. Please know that you are not alone in your pain. I have thought about your family often. I met a fiance of someone who worked with your son. She said he was truly a wonderful person to know. She also said her fiance (Chris) really enjoyed working with him.
Joe P was one of the most unassuming, caring and nicest people you could ever meet. During the most tumultuous of days, Joe kept his cool and led a department that cleared more trades in a single day than some firms clear in a year.
At Cantor, Joe’s job was one of the most difficult in the firm as he worked not only for operations but also for GSB, ISG and Repo’s. Joe took care of all of them with grace and a style that pleased them all.
It is rare that our families are able to see us as we are at work and the relationships that develop – Joe’s Dad – “Papa P” as we called him, would frequently take the subway to Penn with us and was able to see how much we all truly liked Joe. My condolences go out to the entire Perroncino family.
Joe, not a day goes by that I do not think about you and “the boys”. Keep them in line up there and know that you are very missed. G-d bless.
To know Joe P. was to like him. I met him the first day I started at Cantor. We shared the commute downtown together from Smithtown. His work ethic and friendship made Cantor a special place to work. I miss seeing him on the subway or walking through Penn. I’m sure he’s got his 740 and an Islander jersey on. My thoughts are with you Mr. P and your family.
Joe P. was Turtle’s former roommate and his co-worker, but he was mostly his friend. I heard so many funny stories about their times living in Avalon Cove and about their funny times falling asleep on the PATH train home from a late night. I know that Joe P. and Turtle are together with all of their friends from Cantor. The Perroncino family will continue to be in my thoughts.
Joe P,
When I first began to work at Cantor Joe P was began to show me the ropes of opps. He was so eager to teach and he was such a caring person. He was not only my boss for a year but he was a good friend. I have to personally thank him for my life because when I was thinking of leaving Cantor he got me a job. Joe I just want you to know that I will never forget you, never forget what you did for me and how you made me grow as a person. I would also like to send my prayers to his family and friends.
Eric Golden & Family
Joe P. and my husband John Gnazzo worked together and were great friends for many years. To know Joe was to like him. He had a quiet demeanor with a great personality. Just this past summer Joe came by our apartment to look at our wood floors, he was interested in remodeling his house. When I think back at all these young guys and girls whom I knew so well through my husband, it seems so unreal that they’re not here anymore. To have the strength to go on I try to believe they are in a better place together. Joe, my prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
Here’s to you – our nephew and cousin. He was a lot of fun to be around when we had a chance to visit with him; mostly in the summertime or when we got a chance to go up there to see the family. May God bless all the other people that were with him when it all happened that day in Sept. You will always be in our hearts.
Your family from Georgia
Love ya, man.
I got to know Joe really well through my husband, Frank. They worked together for many years and their friendship extended way beyond the office. We all shared laughs at parties and we enjoyed going to hockey games and concerts. (Joe must be stunned by how good the Isles are doing) I will really miss Joe. He was just an all around great guy.
Mr. and Mrs. P.
I know there are no words that will ease your pain. I’m going through it too! I get some comfort in this tribute site when I read all the stories of people whose lives Frank touched. I hope that this will help you in some small way.
You raised a loving, kind, perfect gentleman who, I know, adored both of you. The love that you have for him and the love you have for one another will help you get through the days.He is watching over you. I believe everyone lost on that tragic day are angels. God Bless you and your family.
Julie and Lena
I had met Joe a few times through my brother, Michael, also a missing Cantor employee. Joe and my brother shared an apartment in Jersey City. And the funniest time I can remember was a cold day in April (I think) when Joe was moving back to Smithtown and Mike was moving to Hoboken. I have never moved so much “junk” in my life and the U Haul ride was even worse. I was stuck in the back with the door closed and I am not sure who was driving, whether it was Joe or Mike but let me tell you the ride was bad. I am sure that Mike and Joe are together now still trying to figure out how to drive a U Haul. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Perroncino family and his friends. G-d Bless you all.
My Prayers to the Perroncino family.
God Bless.
I had the pleasure of working with Joe from 1993-1997. He was always willing to teach or help out with a problem no matter how busy he was. Never raised his voice or had a bad word about anybody. Whenever I think of the Islanders, Joe always comes to mind. He was the most loyal fan I know. I’m sure he’s smiling now at their long awaited success. Thanks Joe, for making coming to work fun, along with Turtle, Alf, Joey Reina and the rest.. a great bunch of guys who always kept us laughing….God bless you and your family.
Joe P
I will miss you forever you will always be in my prayers.Save a spot on the team for me up there,
until we meet again.
your friend
jim
I only worked with Joe for 10 months and with his dad for a short time at FBI. I am honored to have known him and worked under him. I have stayed in contact with him on a professional level since I left Cantor 5 years ago. What I remember most were our friendly Ranger-Islander wars. He will be missed. Jim Parella sends his best.
Joe could make the craziest day look like a day at the beach. He always kept his cool. He never raised his voice or got flustered. Joe was always someone I could rely on. I had great respect for him and loved working with him. I will never forget him. May God bless you and keep you.
J.P., it’s Toad. I just wanted you to know that I miss you and that not a day goes by where I don’t think about how you always told me how much you trust in me and how you always told the Big Guy that I could work for you at anytime, any place. You beleived in the person that I am, despite some screw-ups and you always backed me up without question. I will never forget you bro. I hope the Isles bring the cup back to the island for you, my man. You’d be so proud of them this year. I’ll see you soon bud.
To J.P.’s family: I just want his parents to know, as I’m sure you already do, that you raised one of the most respectful and kindest people that I have ever come to know. I will always miss him. My most heartfelt sympathies go out to you and the rest of your family. God Bless.
Joe P was the one that was always willing to give a helping hand. Joe always knew how to make people feel good about themselves. I always told people Joe is the type of guy you would bring home to your parents. Joe you will always be in my heart and prayers. You were a good friend.

Joey,
It’s March 6th and instead of celebrating your 34th birthday, we are mourning your 1st birthday since you were taken from us. It has been almost 6 months and the pain of not being able to see or talk to you still hurts so much. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and how much I miss you. Every time I watch an Islander game or hear a Metalica song I think of you and start crying. The fact that you have always been there for me and I couldn’t be there to help you hurts me a lot. You were the best brother a person could have. Not only were you my brother and best friend but you were also my idol. You don’t know how much you have influenced me and made me who I am. I am angered that your niece and your nephews, who you treated like they were your own kids, will never get to know the special person you were. You were always putting us ahead of yourself. The only thing that helps me get through each day is the fact that with every day that passes, I am 1 day closer to being with you again. You know I love you and would do anything to bring you back. Knowing the way you looked after us, I am comforted knowing that we have a special angel watching over us. Also knowing that Paul is there with you until we arrive helps ease the pain. I miss and love both you and Paul so much. The world is not the same without the 2 of you.
Love, Steve and Tiffy
Joey, well brother happy birthday. I can’t believe you are not here celebrating it. You had so much here still to do. It was only a year ago you were helping me get through losing Paul. How I thought my life was over but you picked me up and got me stronger than I thought I could be. Now my pain is here all over again and you are not here to pick up the pieces. I sometimes find myself looking to call you, remember I must have called you 3 or 4 times a day asking you a million and one questions. It’s funny you always had time to help me no matter how busy you were. Stephen is right; we were lucky we learned so much from you. It’s Jacqueline, Anthony, Tyler and Kyle who will miss being a big part of your life. You were supposed to someday walk Jacqueline down the aisle. I didn’t realize how much Paul and you were alike in so many ways. Our lives are never going to be the same. Paul and you brought so much into our lives; there is a emptiness that can’t be filled. I hope Paul was there to meet you. Knowing that the two of you are together helps. I miss you so much and love you.
HI JOEY,
YOU CAN’T IMAGINE HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE INSTEAD OF CALLING YOU ON THE PHONE I HAVE TO WRITE YOU A TRIBUTE AND IT IS SO PAINFUL. YOU WERE CHEATED IN LIFE MUCH TOO EARLY AND IT IS SO UNFAIR THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOU-A SAINT-HAD TO BE TAKEN INTO HEAVEN SO EARLY. YOU WERE ALWAYS SHY AROUND ME BECAUSE JOE REINA WOULD ALWAYS TEASE YOU TO GO OUT WITH ME. I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND I THINK OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES ESPECIALLY ALL THE CONCERTS WE WENT TO.YOU TREATED ME WITH SO MUCH RESPECT AND KINDNESS AND I WILL TREASURE THAT IN MY HEART ALWAYS. THERE IS SO MUCH I CAN SAY ABOUT YOU, YOU WERE THE SWEETEST GUY I HAD EVER MET. YOU ALWAYS SPOKE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY AND HOW MUCH THEY MEANT TO YOU AND FAMILY VALUES WERE YOUR MAIN CONCERN. I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU SO SO SO MUCH AND I HOPE WHEREVER YOU ARE YOU CAN SEE ALL OF US AND HEAR ALL OF US AND KNOW THAT WE ALL MISS YOU TERRIBLY AND LOVE YOU ETERNALLY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU ARE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL ALONG WITH JOE REINA, FRANKIE NAZARIO AND MIKE WITTENSTEIN. YOU ARE IN MY HEART TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER!!!!!!! ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS MARIA XOXOXOXO
Dear Joe P,
I miss you and think of you all the time, Joe was such a great man, I met him in 1993, as I worked with him, joe Reina, Alf, turtle…. on the clearing desk, even after we stopped working together, I’d meet him periodically at the Jamaica train stop waiting for trains going home…. I always liked your kindness, and I’ll never forget how you’d go out of your way to pick up Tab diet cola for your mom…. listening to you or your Dad on the LIRR was a great natural high ..
I miss you
Mike Zacharia
I had the pleasure of meeting Joe about
3or 4 yrs ago threw my cousin Frank(fran)Nazario
when Joe had gotten his first tattoo on his arm.
We were pushing him to get a tattoo but he seemed
a little scared but it took him awhile to think
about it, eventually he got one. From there
on I became friends with joe, laughing and joking
around on the phone when I called Fran at work
and Joe would always intercept our calls and
we were laughing with and at each others jokes.
Joe, you will be deeply missed, and I know you and Fran are up there together laughing like you
guys always did.
TO the Perroncino Family, my heart goes out to all of you, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Junior:
Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you!
Your mom and dad, brother, and sisters are hurting so much. We all are. I just wish there was something I could do for them. Everyone just misses you so very much!
I miss our conversations. You were always such a good listener. Whether I was lecturing you about work, or our beloved Islanders you always let me go on and on.
Recently, I have begun to think a lot about our trip many years ago to Cancun, and how much fun we had together snorkling and scuba diving. It seems like just yesterday we were heading to the airport and you were telling me how much you hated to fly.
Junior, I can’t believe you’ve been gone 6 months! If anything has helped me get through this time, it’s knowing that you’ve been reunited with my mom, and she’s taking good care of you in heaven. That thought really eases the pain.
Aunt Pat and uncle Joe, words cannot describe your loss. I truly wish that somehow I could go back in time and make things right. But I know I can’t.
Just know that while Joey was only on this earth a short time, he touched so many people and was such a terrific young man. He did more for people in his 33 years than most do in a lifetime. You raised a fine son. I only hope that Mary and I can do as good a job with our girls.
Junior I’ll always miss you, and will never, ever forget you you.
Love,
Michael
Hey Joe.
It’s little things that I remember that make me miss your friendship more and more. I remember when you bought your Isuzu Rodeo you were happy. Best Wishes to the Perroncinos. He will always be a great man.
J.P., the Isles are in the playoffs for the first time in nearly 10 years and I wish you were here with me to enjoy it!! The Rangers are out and Jimbo owes me a steak. I know you have something to do with why they are playing so well and all I have to say is keep it up, buddy!! I’ll be at the first home playoff game that we’ve had for quite some time and I wish we were there together but I know you’ll be sitting right next to me anyway. Miss you bro…
Joe,
I met you when I worked with your Dad at Chappy’s, you were always a very respectful young boy as I’m sure you were as you grew to manhood.
To your Dad who was the best Boss, teacher, and friend I could ever want, I would just like to say how my prayers go out to you Joe Sr. and your family in this most grievious time.
Valerie Pascarello
Hi P,
There isn’t a day that goes by that I do not think of you and the boys, I miss you all so much. I was so happy that your Islanders did so well this past season, just so sad to not have you here to talk about it. I know you had to be pulling some strings up there in heaven, there was no other explanation for it!
To the Perroncino family, I extend my deepest condolences. You raised a truly amazing man with the kindest soul who loved you all dearly and spoke of you often. May God bless you all and please know that Joey will never be forgotten.
Love,
Carol
Hey Joe,
Just wanted to say hello and remind you of the fun we had when the Cantor boys went out with the crew from GSCC. I always admired you as far as work ethic, you were very serious about your job, and always recieved high praises from your co workers. I would always try to get you to stay out a little longer with us, but you always had to get up early to be in on time, so there was no doubt in my mind you were in on 9/11 cause you rarely missed work or took a day off. I always knew you were going places, but never thought were you are now, but you are still a success and Heaven is very lucky to have you. My cousin Charlie is with all of you too, I hope you two find each other becasue you are both class acts. It was a honor to know you.
Suzanne
Joey,
Happy Birthday!!! I know you are wondering what we got you for it. Well I got you the best gift I could give you. I am returning home, ironically we are driving back on your birthday. Joe and Anthony are flying down to get me and we are driving back up. It has been a year and a half and we all miss you everyday. You will be happy to know that Mother has continued your work on the house and that all the kids are getting so big and are starting to show thier own personalities especially little Kyle. I am sure you are watching from heaven and just laughing at every little thing they do. I can never be the uncle you were to them but will try my best to be there for them like you always were. I will get them all on ice skates once I get there because we both know the Islanders are going to need some goal scorers real soon. Well Just wanted to let you know the pain hasnt gotten any easier from the first day you left us! You know we all love you and miss you and if you have any pull up there please get the Islanders the help they need!
Love always
Steve and Tiffany
It was a phone call from a fellow Floridian, Donato Dinorcia, that our schoolmate, Joey was among those that lost their lives in the horrible attack of 9/11. I grew up within blocks of the Perroncinos and my deepest sympathies go out to his family, Steven, Debbie, Doreen, I knew you all, and I send my sincere,heartfelt sympathy to you.
Although I did not keep in touch with Joe after our high school graduation, it is apparent that he not only grew into an incredible man, but he also grew into a person that people respected and adored.Our paths took us in different directions, but by reading the comments of the people who knew him as an adult, he accomplshed more, and touched more people than most of us could ever hope to.
I truly consider it an honor to have known him, May God bless you!
Still miss you Joe=====If your sister is still in the Richmond, Va area, have her contact me.
you were one of the good ones Joe P. Miss you!
