Everyone has, or should have, that favorite Uncle that you can't wait to see. Uncle "Gunky" Joe was that Uncle for me. You always knew that when you were around him you would be laughing.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they are gone the light remains. For me what will remain are the treasured memories of Joe taking me to a Red Sox game, Introducing me to Blue Grass Music, Thanksgiving Feasts where your stomach hurts, but from not eating too much but, from laughing so hard, but mostly his love of Family and Children.

Joe you will be missed

I am so sorry Virginia but we have lost one heck of a Santa.
