Kind, gentle and with a devilish sense of humor. That's how I'll always remember our "Papa" Joe. Condolences to his family.

I'm sorry that's he's passed on, but I'm grateful that he had good people around him who loved him, and was blessed to live as long as he did. He was the closest thing to a grandfather I've ever known, and a greatly loved friend to both of my parents. I'll always love you Papa. Be at peace.
All our love, Laci, Dina, and Leo Wicker.
