He was a man of principle and kindness. He built his own home for his family. A physical reminder of how highly he regarded being able to provide for those he loved.
We will most remember Joe for his love of his wife, Muriel. Together for 72 years, they were a testament to true love and held hands to the end. His grandchildren will never forget their Poppa and his love for our Gram.

Uncle Joe was always happy and laughing. He loved his family more than anything. I know his sisters, brothers and parents welcomed him in heaven with open arms. Give my mom a hug from me Uncle Joe.
