Joe was a kind man, loved to name songs and watch sports whether it was Hockey or baseball. He was a enjoyable person to talk to. I enjoyed Taking care of him ! Such a sweet gentleman.

Many fond memories of Joe running and biking before his horrendous stroke. He always kept me in stitches. I particularly remember one event we did together as part of a team, 24 hour running relay at a high school track in St. Louis. Had a horrendous thunder storm about half way through the event, spent a large of the evening in a tent with Joe and some other member of the team. Joe's humor kept us from crying.

Joe was the best of the best. I was honored to be his sister (in-law) for
over 50 years. He was a wonderful husband, father, uncle and friend to
all who knew him. We will keep his memory (especially his humor, Joe-isms as we called them) in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, Joe. We all love you very much!
