IN MEMORY
Joseph Latini - Class Of 1969
Age at Death: 63 years Cause of Death: Cancer Classmate City: Mount Sinai Classmate State: New York Survived By: Wife-Jeanette Rubino Latini-NHS '69; sons Michael and Joseph; grandsons Alexander and Cole; parents-Joseph and the late Maria; brother-Anthony
Joe was an integral part and central figure among a bunch of friends, teammates and classmates who have known each other for over 50 years. This means from elementary school to high school to adult life. To lose a friend of this stature and longevity is a gripping and very tangible loss. He will be sorely missed. He was loved by his friends. Count me in the love column. Here are some of the others who have communicated this same sentiment in their own way which I now pass on to the Latini Family to see. Thank you Classmates of Newfield High School, Class of 1969 who have visited upon me these thoughts about and for Joe and his family. I know there will be more who have something great and kind to say about Joe.… R.I.P Joe, Teammate and Friend … Carey Finn Newfield HS 1969

Glenn Petrosky To his family, friends and relatives my sincere condolences. Not only an athlete but a student athlete. Taking classes studying hard and spending numerous hours at practice and games on the weekend. Great to have been part of Wolverine football.

Theresa L. McGuire So sad. Just found out. My prayers for Jeanette and his children and family. The only consolation is he is with Jesus, he is not suffering or in any pain anymore. But the loss of a husband a father a family member and a friend will stay with us forever. Joe was one of those guys when you met him you liked him instantly you wanted to hang out with him and be his friend. He had a way a smile a friendly jester that drew you to him and loved it when he smiled and laughed, oh that laugh. He may not be with us physically but his loving presence will always be remembered. He was one of the good guys and he was a true friend. You will be missed Joe, but never forgotten. God I ask that you give his family a peace and comfort to carry them through these difficult days ahead and through the days ahead. God Bless you all. ?

Michael Denimarck: I am saddened beyond belief and I am having a difficult time believing it is true. Joe will leave a tremendous void in my life, one I am not ready to accept.

As confused as I am now, trying to figure out why this has to happen to such a good person somehow we will all move forward and always include our fallen classmates in our thoughts and conversations. R.I.P Joe.

I saw him once more at the reunion.....We went outside so he could smoke his cigar! Tommy Accardi and MikeD came out to......funny how that would be the last time I would see him.....a reminder to live each day to the fullest! Joe was very full of life! He still had that great laugh!! May you rest in peace.....God Bless! Peter Mckenzie Class of 69.
