Joe, you were a part of our family and you will be missed. I remember how you would come over for dinner but always check what I was cooking before deciding to stay.... Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper was one of your favorites.Your sense of humor and infectious laugh always brought joy to everyone around. Rest in peace, Joe.
