Where to begin? I've been thinking about Joe a lot over the last week and a half as well as all you guys in the family. Time spent with Joe was never boring, that's for sure. He was one of the wittiest people I knew, always having some kind of sarcastic comeback or remark to brighten your day. I really enjoyed the positivity he expressed on a daily basis. It showed, and it rubbed off on people around him. We had a lot of good times together and I'll miss him dearly. One last thing...he always wore that cap, but I don't know why. He had more hair than me I think! :) RIP, Joe.

Times spent with Joe will always be cherished memories...he was one of the best friends anyone could have. From working together, to concerts, to backyard fire-pit gatherings, to playing horseshoes, or smacking a golf ball with Mike, Joe always kept things lively. We will miss you always!

Praying for you boys in the next weeks, months and years, that the Lord will help you through this time of loss and sorrow and you will be able to find Peace through all this in knowing your Father is awaiting you with wide open arms one day. Until that time, cherish every moment you can of his memory and share those memories, traditions and littlest of things with your children so they too will know the loving father he was and how he LOVED his GRANDCHILDREN and enjoyed watching them playing soccer, baseball, football and whatever he could to enjoy them. We love you and are praying for all of your family.
