Uncle Joe
I know you are with my father now, The memories of youngstes riding motorcycle with your sons and helping you with your new laptop at the young age of 80 makes me smile. You were a good man, strong man and bull headed some of a gun. We loved you the way you were and you never changed for anyone. Goodbye uncle Joe and you can reat knowing aunt Beverly is being taken care of by family.
