I ran the booking department for The 700 Club TV and Joe was always one of the favorite economic guests on the program. He was the same "on" camera as well as "off." When I thought of him today I checked to see where he was and found that he had departed for heaven. He was a man who brought much joy to so many with his goodness and kindness.
I met Joe in the early 80's when he was at the peak of his career, as I was in mine, in the life insurance business.
He was a dynamo for sure and one of the nicest people I ever met in the business. RIP Joe Gandolfo, you were one in a million ...
I have just got to know about Mr.Gandolfo's passing away.I am a Malaysian Catholic and wanted him to write to my son and daughter in 2010 to encourage them in their lives.He did and it was a really inspirational and wonderful letter ! Eternal rest grant unto Joe O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

He was like a bolt of lightning on the stage and must have been the same with his clients-his clients were transported to new elevated view of their worth as humans and
wealth creators. Patrick Aloysius Ryan. Limer5ick- Ireland
Joe was our financial planner consultant, but much more than that. He had a wisdom and commitment about him that was always an inspiration. I felt he was "tuned in" to more than the wisdom of this world, and have no doubt he is celebrating his newly found home prepared for Him by the King of Kings. While we will miss him on this side - it is good to know we are connected to a life that never ends and will meet again some day.
Love to the family -I'm sure Joe is sending comfort & love from above.

I met Joe back in 1973 when I was first in business. He was a Roman Catholic, very spiritual and I was hooked on the business because of him. I met him at a meeting one night, we had dinner, and then I went to Mass with him the next day just like I dreamed it. I even went to his office in Florida and during his busy schedule he took a few hours out of the day to spend time to talk to my wife and me. He was always a hero to me and will be greatly missed. The peace and love of Jesus the Christ be with him now and forever. My deepest sympathy to his whole family. Anthony A Iannone ChFc, CIC, LUTCF, RIA Norwalk CT
Joe was so gracious, knowledgeable, and caring whenever I would call for advice. I am grateful to have known him. Rest in peace my friend, and I will see you face to face someday when we stand before the Lord!

We truly appreciated Joe. His honesty and integrity are his marks in life. He led a blessed life and shared himself and his knowledge with everyone he met. He will be truly happy in heaven with the Lord.
jOE AWAS ALWAYS THERE IF YOU HAD A QUESTION AND i LOVED HOW i KNEW HE WENT TO MASS EVERY MORNING.....I know he is in heaven and has no more hurts or pain...honesty, forthrightness and compassion are not always what one finds in financial people but these attributes were in Joe...Thank you Joe, you will be missed.
