I had the pleasure to getting to meet Joe during his daughter's volleyball practice & tournaments. Instantly, you could tell he took great pride in being with his children, and was very excited to spending time with them. We are so sorry the family has to endure such great pain, so difficult to understand such a tragic loss.
We know that it is going to be hard to imagine life without him, but pray that your faith and inner strength will help you through this difficult time. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
