Goodbye Pop-pop, thanks for all the laughs as a kid, and of course those delicious meatballs - I hope you are somewhere bowling that perfect 300 game!

Joe was a good stepdad even though he had no biological children of his own. He was a loving stepgrandfather and was always ready to step up to the plate when a stepson or daughter needed them. And once he called me daughter.
