I burn this candle in remembrance of my father in law. He was truly a great man. I am so honored that I got to be part of his and his children's lives. You will be very missed

I will always have wonderful memories of Joe. I especially thank him for bringing his son Paul into this world and giving him all the life lessons that make Paul the loving man he is today. My love to Joe's family. I am truly blessed to be a part of the Oberdas Clan!
