Remembering Joe Masterson is always a time of rejoiciing and sadness. Rejoicing because he always lightened up the room with his humor and laughter. I always miss that, especially when visiting with Mom Masterson. Yes, Joe, you are missed and rejoicing that you are now in God's hands

Oh, JOE, how I remember you as the life of the party, always doing pranks on your sisters and brothers, great sense of humor too! Your mom told me about your early years in the hospital in Atlantic City and how she visiting each week and you got well and came home. May you rest in peace. May God's blessings be with you always!

Joe was always such a happy go lucky person, a real practical joker to to all, including his brothers and sisters, he was a lot of fun to be around, the life of the party. His mom, Sophie often spoke of what he had to endure at the Atlantic City Hospital in a full body cast of some kind, she would take the bus there every week to visit with him. I think it was hot dogs that he craved there and his mom said he couldn't get enough of them. Joe, we miss you, RIP
