Joe Sr. was such a jovial person to be around. He loved to celebrate life and always eat. He welcomed me with a huge smile every time I visited his son and daughter-in-law. He has left behind a legacy in his children and grandchildren that will always be remembered. My sympathies to his family and friends.
