Ive been at a loss for words since I saw this obituary posting last night. My heart is completely broken. I was lucky enough to grow up across the street from Joe and Diane. In those 16 years, I created so many memories with Joe. Im not sure which one of us was more upset when I had to move away. Joe treated me like I was his own, teaching me so many things throughout the years. In the time since I moved, Ive made sure to come home for Halloween every year to spend our favorite Holiday...

Ever since I was little I thought of him as 'The Cat Man'. One time Mom stopped by to talk about something with the car, he walked out of the garage with 4 kittens hanging off him and that cemented my young minds perception of him. Always kind, quick to wave and smile. My deepest condolences to the family...he was a wonderful man.
