Please accept our condolences at the passing of Joe. He was such a delightful person and always made us feel happy sharing conversations with him. For many years we sat in front of Joe and June at Saint Thomas Aquinas Church, and if we were late, Joe would gently chide us and June would gently give him an elbow.
I know your family will always remember Joe and his stories, he will be missed. Sincerely, Ed and Sheila
