We were fortunate enough to be able to see Joseph on a daily basis for years. Everyday without fail he would go out and get the mail, walk the dog or take his stroll down the sidewalk. We were also very fortunate to both hear and see his woodworking in person. If it was a warm afternoon we'd hear the cutting of wood in the neighborhood for hours on end. Those days will be missed but the memory will last a lifetime.
May your family have wonderful memories as well, and may peace be with you all.
