My dear Big Joe, you were one in a million. The friendship we had was so precious to me. I always marveled at your faith. I still giggle at the debate we had about burying the Saint by my house that I was selling. Should he be laid flat, head first, just dropped in or feet first? We laughed so hard. You looked at me and said, kid, feet first. Ok Joe, feet first. The house sold.
You were the best friend. You guarded over me, always. I always felt your love & commitment to our friendship. Heaven is so lucky to have you. I know you are pain free & charming everyone in Heaven.
Rest peacefully my dear friend.
