Yesterday we lost a son, a husband, a father, a brother, a grandfather, a cousin, a uncle, and a friend. Uncle Joe wore all those hats and he was the one who would make you laugh with one his crazy jokes or he could talk your head off with a long story. Anyone who knew him loved or liked him. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity in my life to know him and love him. He was like father. I will miss him but I know that we all have a new angel watching over us. To my Aunt Lee and cousins( Missy, Lindsey, James, Heather, and Edward) I'm so very sorry and I love you all. God bless
