<p>"A sweeter man or a dearer friend you could not find than Joe Marinelli," McCloskey, 70, wrote alongside a throwback photo with Marinelli. "I knew Joe was sick and so admired his indefatigable spirit throughout what sounded like a very difficult, if not impossible, ordeal. Joe was a champion. He was a great acting partner, teacher, philosophical friend, passionate believer in people, and a storyteller extraordinaire that with laughter and depth revealed the human spirit so beautifully and in so many different ways."</p>
<p>In addition to his roles on The Morning Show, Santa Barbara and General Hospital, Marinelli had memorable guest starring appearances on NYPD Blue, Lethal Weapon, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,Victorious, and Desperate Housewives.</p>
