My sweet little one. It seems like yesterday that you came into our lives. A precious little baby. Ad I watched you struggle and grow you became a sweet young man. I am so proud to have been a part of you becoming the fine young man that you are. I was never prouder then the day you brought the beautiful Meagan home to meet us. We feel in love with her immediately & were so pleased that that she filled your life with such love and joy. I love you my beautiful angel and I know that you are watching over all of us.. God bless you.

Joe, although I didn't know you personally, I saw how you carried yourself with such dignity at work. You define what a Young Man should be. Not only did the Gavin Family lose a loved Family Member...The entire South Boston Family lost a great Gentleman. God Speed Joe!
