My godfather Joe was an amazing man, a Veteran, a wonderful husband and father to his children. I grew up with him and Mary. I was in their wedding as a flower girl. I was so thankful we reconnected when we moved to Florida. My fondest memory is our visit to their home in Okeechobee. I am sad he is gone, but I know he his with his amazing parents and other loved ones. Sending my love to my cousins. Thank you for being my godfather.
