Dear Brother,
So difficult to believe that this Monday it will be three years since you left this world. The world has been a different place without your presence but your presence is still felt with numerous memories. On your birthday, I recalled how we celebrated your 50th with your favorite pizza at Martino's. I lit a candle in your honor, ordered a pizza from Martino's, and lifted a glass of wine as a toast in your honor. Yes, I gave Kirby Pucket some crust and told him it was...

There is so much I wish to say
I think about you every day
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
I miss our bantering
Never forgotten...
I imagine them often
It just doesn't seem real that you're not around
I will never again see your smile and your blue eyes...
No “how you doing Bule” with a chuckle to follow….
No “what are you doing tonight” or “how is Kirby Pucket”…
All of these things, I cherish so dearly …
In my heart, I remember so...

Joe's family had moved to Sherwin Avenue and we were soon to be classmates at Rogers School. Over the years we played tons of sports in Rogers Park and the High Ridge Y. We had wonderful times together. Our friendship continued through high school, college and beyond.
No one had a better heart than Joe. He truly was a compassionate person. I was lucky to have him as a...
