Today is 3 years since we last were together. It doesn´t get easier, but I´ve learned to remember the fond memories to help get through. Jojo should have joined you last week in heaven. I hope you´re both together. Thanks for everything you did for us and showing us what being a good person and hard worker looked like. I miss sharing things with you about life and I miss our morning coffee conversations when I was visiting. Miss you terribly and love you immensely. A

Working with Joe at Muhlenberg College was a great time in my life. We had good times transporting students at the College and bonding with the other drivers. I was lucky enough to play golf with Joe who was a good athlete. Joe loved his family and was very proud of them.
