Our prayers will be with Nancy and the children, Joe Dazzo was a hero to this country. We will miss him, Every morning Joe would raise the American flag in front of his home and every night like a clock would lower and fold the flag. Joe touched many people and of all the 14 years living next to him and Nancy I to this day never remember Joe to have said one word in anger. God Bless You Nancy and Kids
