It was a lasting thought of Jeanette and I just how cheerful Joe was when we visited last year. He will always be remembered for that cheerful smiling face, his singing and the dominos.
You are at peace now in the place of eternal happiness.

Although we only met Uncle Joe the once, it was like meeting my dad Tony (Joe's Brother) again. Uncle Joe's smile,manner and happy nature was infectious and we left with big grins and precious memories which will always be treasured. Our thoughts are with Uncle Joe and I am sure he will be up there looking down on all of the family with his family. He will be sadly missed.
