Aunt Gerri and family, Our heartfelt prayers and condolences on the loss of Uncle Joe. He was a quiet and reserved man with eyes that lit up when he laughed. He will be greatly missed by all that he loved and loved him. I know he is in heaven with Mom and Dad looking down upon us all. In fact, they are all probably fishing together.
