I knew Mr. Yamello in my early years. I wonder if he kept that 1974 Red Sox team baseball card I gave him :-)

Great neighbor, better friend. I will never be able to hear the song O Holy Night without remembering his irreverent rendition. Take care Butchie, and all his girls. Love

Gail I was so sad to hear of Joe's passing. he was such a good man and always made me laugh! Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in many, many peoples thoughts and prayers. Love always, Georgiania

Dear Uncle Joe, You always made me feel special and I thank you. I will always cherish my childhood memories of the Yamello and Rinker families: meeting on route 495 in MA while we followed each other to Maine, building our cabins next to each other, pizza parties, lobster feasts cooked in seaweed and hay-hole ice cream, Fun names… we all know them. You came to support & watch me in my H.S. play. You mean so much to so many people. You have been a gift in my life, I am blessed. Love GayGay

Our family has many fond memories of Joe who was the leader of the 4H Rabbit Club our kids were in when we lived in Chelmsford. The kids learned so much about rabbits, about working together to put on rabbit shows, and working with kids in the club age 8-18. Joe was always kind and had a great sense of humor. Thank you Joe!

We do not have hope in this life only! If we did then people should pity us. No! We know Christ was raised from the dead and is the first to have risin! Death came because of what man did. Rising from the dead also comes because of what man did. We have prayed and preached that Christ has been raised from the dead. And if Christ has not been raised, what we preached and prayed means nothing. Those who have died believing in Christ are not lost. You and I did not have hope only for this life. Thus we will meet again my good friend, and we will talk again about the old days as kids around Boston. I will miss you until then... You Pal, Will

Joe worked with me for years when I was teaching at A.D. Gray Middle School, and was a great substitute teacher. I also know that he was proud of his time served in the Army, rising to the rank of Captain, which was the rank I held at retirement. You were a good man Sir.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Yamello family. I knew Mr Yamello at a very young age as his daughter Tracy and I went to school together and are close friends. There's a lot of memories growing up with Tracy at Mr Yamello's old house in Chelmsford.

My heart is broken. My "favorite Brother" is gone. I will miss him forever. Growing up we were always together. We went to dances at the Boathouse in Wakefield, swimming at Revere Beach, roller skating, bowling, Red Sox games and more. When I met Dick, Joe and Dick hit it off right away. They were brothers from the start. Dick, my children and I will always have our happy memories of Joe.

Joe and I started teaching drafting together at Greater Lowell Voc-Tech and became good friends. We had many things in common, both of us having three daughters that we always bragged about. We both enjoyed hunting and Joe spent time at my Vermont camp which Joe designed and had his student draft the plans. Always positive and a fun guy to be around, Joe was a talented drafting instructor who really loved teaching. I loved knowing Joe and I'll forever cherish the good times we shared. Gail and family, my deepest condolences. God bless you all.

My Dad, My Rock, My Everything, I miss you too much already, so much it hurts to even think. Thank you for always letting me know how proud you were of me, you don't know how much that meant to me. I will talk to you everyday, forever, and I know you will always be there for me, just like you always have. I just hate to not be able to hold your hand anymore. Oh Dad, I love you, and I'll talk to you in the morning...your baby Skippa

We met Joe when we moved to So. Thomaston, through his wife, who is a childhood friend. We have never met a more delightful, friendly man... always having wonderful conversations when we would meet. I'm sure that he is wrapped in God's arms tonight. We'll miss you, Joe!!
