I am proud to have known the man called "Big Joe", Poppy to my girls. He was a kind and loving man who cared for oh so many!!! Not just those who have his blood running thru them. God bless Ada, "Nana" to my girls. A husband couldn't ask for a better spouse and partner in life. Not just these past few months but for 53 years of LOVE. You lead such a wonderful example for us all to follow.
Thank you Lord for taking Joe home to be in glory with you.
