"Joe" has been my neighbor for the past 16 years. During that time, he has been both a mentor and a true friend. His kind heart, and endless stories of days past, could turn a dull moment into a happy one! Joe had a cheerful personality that was contagious and could make anyone smile.
I loved this man like a father and took his advice on many occassion. He was a man amoung men and I'll miss him terribly. "I, like many others, will miss his delicious cooking and warm hospitality. Joe will undoubtedly be cooking in Heaven now for our Father and smiling among the Angels. Rest in peace my friend, I'll always cherrish your memory.
