Uncle Joe and Dee were my godparents and I have always been grateful for their roles in my life. I have very fond memories of time on the Sack dairy farm where uncle Joe also worked. Christmas and holidays were always big celebrations, filled with lots of conversation and laughter. Those memories continue to fill my heart with gladness. Uncle Joe was a kind and generous person. His love for life, nature, people and the world is seen by his family, generous contributions and volunteer activities. I am very sorry that I couldn't be present to share in his celebration of life. He and Aunt Dee will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Uncle Joe, thanks for being you...and the memories. Love, Patty.
