Scott,Steve&Family,
I don't have to tell you that Joe had a special place in my heart. As his care giver we were part of each others daily lives for almost 4 years. I only hope I brought half as much light into his life as he brought into mine. I already missed him as part of my everyday life. We will all miss the unique & indeering person I always referred to as "My Joe." May he rest in peace. Love and prayers.

Praying for you and your family Scott. So sorry to see this. I lost my dad in July and though I am certain he is with Jesus, I miss him every day. I didn't know your dad, but it sounds like he was, like my dad, an honorable man. God's blessings to you.

So sorry to hear that our Joe is gone. He was truly one of a kind, one of the most kind and caring men that I have ever known. He had a "twinkle" in his eyes and love in his heart for all. He will be missed by all of the lives that he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
