We are sorry that we are unable to attend the service for our Uncle Joe. We will always remember him as someone who cared dearly for his family. He and Aunt Alice could never do enough for Dick and Dale, their wives, and their kids.



He will be missed.

I am sorry that I could not express my sincere condolences in person as I am out of town. I have many fond memories of Joe especially on the ball field. He loved the game, brought enthusiasm to the game and was fun to be around. Joe and my dad George shared many experiences around Little League, Mater Christi, and the village government. Hopefully they will have box seats together in heaven.
