I was thinking about your family around this time of Christmas and found this about Joe, sadly. I know he was cherished by so many and especially his family and for you a strong pillar of your life. What a legacy he left, when a Father is loved by his family as was Joe, that is the greatest tribute one can obtain. God Bless.
