Joe was my godfather and a great man who I remember well. We still exchanged christmas cards every year. A sincere and gentle man who will be missed. Gods blessing on his family.

Dedo,
I am going to miss your nursing stories, your docile personality, and most of all, your hearty laugh. Thank you for the deep love you showed all of us. Thank you for being an amazing grandfather. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout the years which has enabled me to have a deep passion for nursing, so similar to yours. Thank you for the wonderful memories: Black tube socks, ChiliMac, and Old Maid are only a few that come to mind. Thank you for your tenderness with Ava, Christine, & Christopher. All three of them loved visiting with you. In the words of Christopher, "Bon Appetit!" I miss you beyond comprehension, but I know that you are reunited with Grandma & Aunt Vicki. To the only person that I didn't mind calling me Kathy, I love you and I'll see you again.
