My great-uncle Joe…..I would sit an talk with him for long periods of time and never realized just how accomplished a man he was. He was such a caring, humble man, and apparently very intuitive and hard working as well. What an honor to have a forum of this caliber named after him.

Dr. Joseph Scaletti is my uncle. I am so proud of him. He is the only one in our family who finished college, and he had to work to pay for it. Such an honor for him to be a successful futurist. My Mother told the story while Uncle Joe was going to college his Dad became sick so he was going to quit to take care of him-And his Dad told him he would kill himself if he didn’t go back to college. (True Story)

Comment on Reminiscences by Deborah C. Newman, M.D. & Christopher Krco, Ph.D.

Debbie and I were deeply saddened learning of the passing of Dr. Scaletti. He was a friend, advisor, mentor and father figure to us.

Debbie was a student in Joe’s laboratory investigating molecular forms of mitochrondrial DNA in leukemic mice. Under Joe’s exemplary mentorship Debbie learned the art of scientific experimentation and writing. When Debbie entered medical school at UNM, Joe closely followed Debbie’s progress and took pride in his maturing student. When Debbie’s father passed away suddenly, Joe was there offering sympathy, support and encouragement. At graduation, Joe personally placed the M.D. hood on Debbie, a warm and caring gesture typical of Joe.

While Debbie was in Joe’s lab, I was a Ph.D. student across the hall. Joe, ever insighful, quickly realized that Debbie and I were probably more than lab partners in one of his graduate lab techniques class and welcomed me into his extended lab family. I too greatly valued and appreciated his knowledge, demeanor, advice.

Debbie and I felt that Joe and Rita adopted us. Their home was warm and comforting. I fondly recall times with Rita over treats in the family kitchen while Debbie and Joe went over data in his study. Debbie and I especially enjoyed sharing Thanksgiving dinners with Joe, Rita, Carla and Robert. One particular Thanksgiving was memorable. Joe planned to drive all of us to a cabin in Pagosa Springs for the holiday weekend. Joe mentioned that Carla would be practicing her music lessons so we should be prepared to hear her practice. The detail Joe omitted was that Carla played the harp and that the harp was given space priority. Debbie and I enjoyed a fun, cold and cramped ride with the harp, Robert, Topaz the dog and sandwiches in the back of the enlcosed pick-up truck. Laughing while carrying the harp across a snow covered field was typical of many happy times spent with Joe and Rita.

Debbie and I are enternally grateful for the opportunities Joe and his colleagues at UNM provided to us. Joe in particular will always have a warm spot in our hearts. Joe was a role model as a human being, scientist, educator, and loving husband and father. We are grateful for the time we shared with him.

Remembering Joe Scaletti, PhD:

We are toasting you, Dr. Joe. Your style of teaching, your radiant/ kind personality, and your knowledge helped guide both of us through our careers and lives. You were a strong pillar of compassion and wisdom during medical school, pathology residency, and medical technology school. We were so fortunate to know you and be your students at UNM. We were so pleased to see you and your wonderful smile again, after many years, when we attended Andy’s (Dr. Robert E. Anderson’s) Memorial last fall.

May God keep you and richly bless your family.
