Joanne, Debbie and Kathleen -- We cannot tell you how sorry we were to hear of Uncle Joe's death. He was a very special man -- so wonderful to my parents (Uncle Bill and Aunt Nettie). We have a lot of wonderful memories of him that will stay in our hearts. I still have the little girl on a swing tht he made for my mother just a few days before she died. It now hangs in the olive tree in front of my house. And, of course, I always put out the leprachaun he gave me when my dad died. St. Patrick's day just wouldn't be the same without it. I know it will be hard but try to keep remembering all of the good times and the wonderful zest for life that was always a part of your father.
Love, Mike and Marie

Uncle Joe is the best! The stories of his life are written in the many fond memories we have shared with him and his family. He touched so many lives with his humor, his kindness and his love of his family. Wishing his family the comfort that your own very special memories bring you now. Love, Cheryl Hart
