Joe, Cathy & Fran, & Family, I'm sorry to hear of Big Joe's passing. Great guy and father. Sorry we can not make the viewing due to trip to Phoenix, AZ and returning late Saturday evening, but I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. May he RIP and be reunited with Mom Kap.

So sorry for the loss of your father. Didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but I heard many stories from Cindi and he sounds like a wonderful man who lived a full life and was very loved. He will always be with you in all of your hearts.
All our Love,
