I always appreciated Joe and his wife for being such good friends with my niece (Kim) at the nursing home. She is in the last stages of Huntingtons Disease. I'm sure his friendship meant a lot during covid when my mom and I couldn't visit Kim in person. Thank you Joe!

You will be in my heart forever Daddy.
Whenever I cuddle a sweet little kitten or see dairy cows grazing in a pasture, I will remember your love of animals, great and small. The next time a semi truck, hauling citrus fruit, passes me on the highway, I will remember how much you enjoyed driving, especially along the California coast. And when next I travel through Gaviota, I will stop to have lunch and look out over the ocean, like you used to do. You are no longer here but your memory lives on.
Till we meet again.
