Im so sorry to hear of uncle Joes passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I have so many memories candy making with aunt Linda (my god mother) and all of us kids running around having a blast. Uncle Joe was always there keeping us out of trouble! I remember he was a hard worker and threw the best parties. Love and hugs to your family.
