I am so very sorry to hear of your loss!! My dad when he was alive thought so highly of Joe. After my dad died he had me and my brothers over to dinner with our families.... Mr and Mrs Fazzino were so kind to us! He had a hollyberry bush in his yard and cut some holly for me and I made a beautiful wreath above my kitchen sink.. I remember Joe being such a kind man. Although he was a successful business man he was also a family man. I remember coming over to your farm, and your mom was a talented seemstress. We took a walk with Joe up behind his farm... He was dressed as a farmer would be, we walked by homes that most people could only dream of living in that Joe had built! What amazed me the most is that as we walked by each home the people waved to him and said hello! he was so humble! That is what I remember about Joe... I'm so sorry to all of you.
