I have known Joe since I was 16yrs.
old. I was with his wife Roberta when she met him and we have been friends over 70 yrs. I have many wonderful memories of them both. Joe was a good man and loved his wife and children very much. I know he is now at peace and with our Lord and Joey wait for Roberta to join them.
Thank you Carol! That was beautiful
