Joseph Zaccoli Date of Birth: January 9, 1962 Position: Bonds Broker Joe’s life is a story of a man who accepted the responsibility and the enormous task of becoming a steadfast, loving husband and father. Through strength of will, commitment to family and devotion to God, he developed throughout his life and overcame adversity. Joe cared for his wife and three children with kindness. Joe devoted himself to his community where he encouraged children and taught them what is of value in this world. One of the young players that he coached was so inspired by Joe’s life that he wrote the poem below: COACH JOE It’s horrible but true We now face life without you Taken from us much too soon So many lives among the ruins You are a hero to us all A great teacher with a basketball But most of all you took the time To help untangle a fishing line Or take a bike ride in the park Then renting movies when it got dark We’re glad you made the time to spend We’ll miss you greatly, our dear friend What will be remembered is the goodness that Joe brought into people’s hearts. Let us pray that all the children grow up into adults who challenge themselves to become better human beings.

There is no way on this earth, I shall ever fill the empty hole in my heart. Love Always, Mom

Wherever a beautiful soul has been…..there is a trail of beautiful memories.
We will never forget.
Joey, I’m not quite sure where to begin. I can’t believe that it’s been ten years since you were so tragiclly and senselessly taken from those who loved and admired you. I will never forget the wonderful time we spent working side by side together at JJ Kenny. Your quiet strength and gentile manner made you a pleasure to be around. Always a kind word, never negative toward anyone. Having you as a close friend has made me a better person, husband and father. I know that right about now you are playing hoops with our other friends who the good Lord decided to take up to heaven that day, and I’m sure your team always wins. To say that you are incredibly missed doesn’t quite describe the void left by your absence. I pray often for Helen and the kids, and I’m sure they are doing well under the circumstances, since you always did set a great example of love, strength and perserverence.
Brian Dwyer, friend and partner
