God took him to be by his side after recently battling complications from his fifth cancer. Thank you Dr. Valilis and your whole team that fought with him since his first cancer in 2006. Special thanks to Dr. Calianga, Dr. Omar and Dr. Pande for helping Joe fight his illness. I know you will be by our side loving and taking care of us. We all will miss that big smile of yours.
