There are no words I can express in my heart for the sadness I feel for PAPA JOE. He was a great MAN and I think about him all the time as I am sure his family does also. I know when it is my time he will be there to welcome me with that big smile and open arms. I loved this great man.

Today is the saddest day of my life. To know Papa Joe was to love him as I do. He was a wonderful person to know and to know him was to love him. Many times I felt like he was my Dad.
I can't express how much he meant to me and my family.
My condolences to Joey and all the family and friends and to Franny and Keven. You all are in my Prayers.
