In Memory of Joe Purpura
Posted by Nancy Schempp on August 11, 2011 at 5:44am in In Memoriam
I am not sure where to post this on the Way Corps site so I'm adding it here to be sure that anyone wanting information can see it.
After a long illness, Joe 'Hansen" Purpura fell asleep on August 7, 2011
May 7, 1067 to August 7, 2011
Joe is the son of the late Ginger Hansen Polizotto who was in the Family Corps. Joe, his sister Suzanne Hansen and Philip were in the mini corps.
This is a note from Suzanne & Philip.
From Sue Belluardo & Philip Polizotto.
Hello Everyone... We are so sorry to be writing these words.... Our beautiful, brother Joe passed away, It is such a loss for our family. His kind soul, happy spirit, and gentle nature brought so much to this world. We will forever miss him and thank all of you for the kindness you have shown. We are so proud of our brother for showing the world his endurance, strength and positive attitude. He will be missed more than words can ever describe. Philip & Sue
I would like to add that anyone wishing to send Sue or Philip a note or card can contact them at:
Sue Belluardo, 5 Hampshire Road, Mahwah, N.J. 07430

Joe has a page on this site which will remain in his memory. You can view it HERE.
I really enjoyed reading his insight on a blog he wrote on his page about when he was in the Junior Corps. It is called Junior Corps Stories (What really happened.)
I did not know Joe but I knew his Mom, Ginger, briefly. Here they are together.
We chatted. I have emails. I am very sad now. My heart & prayers are praying tonight, that you all may be comforted within your loss. God bless all of you.
See you up there Joe!!!
