Joe was a true model of St. Joseph. He had many attributes of Jesus’s foster father. Joe took on responsibility at a young age for his family. He showed leadership and humility with his family. A wonderful example of what we all are trying to achieve.
We loved to hear Joe talk about his love of gardening and building things. Of the times at work, when he took a stand on issues that were important to him.
His holiness and complete surrender to our Lord in every day life.
The times he helped the Albert Knittig family through some of their difficult times. Many fond memories of Joe and Agnes.
We can today call him St. Joe. What a wonderful person!
