Gloria, Dawn, Jodi and Amy, I was sad to hear the passing of Joe. I know how grief feels to overcome you at times, however when it happens just try to think of all the great memories you had over all the precious years together. Joe and my dad were always joking around, and always had a new joke to tell friends and family. I love all of you, keep the faith.

Gloria, Jody, Dawn & Amy & Family,
Another parent goes home to God. Think of the wonderful reunions there must be in heaven. I'm sure my Mom & Dad will be one of the firsts to say hello and catch up on the neighborhood gossip. Many great childhood memories of your Dad, a jokester at best, and so much fun to be around. We always think our parents will be here forever, and they are; in our hearts and in our memories. Michael and I are so very sorry for your loss and our prayers and...

I still see the birdhouse he built from my kitchen window, a hotel for birds. His wife Gloria is a wonderful loving woman who has taken care of joe through out his last years (an...
