My deepest condolences to all the family. Joe was such a loving and caring person. He always kept me laughing even when he didn’t want to laugh. I viewed Joe as a Dad to me and I will never forget him. I will keep all his family and friends in my prayers. Gn Joe, you just sleeping and I hope to see you when you wake up. Love always❤
