Aw Joe,
You were a great father & grandfather, a great person that would always help anyone. You were funny and a great huntsman & fisherman. You were also a great friend and I will miss you. May you rest in heavenly peace for all eternity! May the angels wrap their loving wings around you and take you up to the heavens peacefully. You will be missed by many but never be forgotten. Goodbye my dear friend Joe :[

Knowing that you aren’t here anymore makes the world a less interesting place. I couldn’t be more grateful for the friends that you, Kathy and the girls were to Donnie and myself. I hope the girls will always know how much you loved them growing up even though times got tough, that never changed. God bless and lots of love.
