We always picked up where we left off. No matter how much time passed between us. I'm so glad we were able to really reconnect recently. You talked about having another family reunion recently. I wish we would have had it before your passing. You always wanted the entire family to be closer. I always knew when you were going to hit me up about it. You would lean in and give me that corner eye and say, "Hey cuzzo!!! It's about time for another family reunion! This new generation needs to know who their people are!" LOL You always reminded me of uncle Leon. Especially when you let your cigarette hang off your lip and talk out the side of your mouth like he did. LOL You both had the same sense of humor.

I love and miss you Joseph. Your spirit and energy will be missed. Rest in peace cuzzo!!!
