Joe was an important friend to my Mom and a few others who reside at the Lawfette building. They were always checking in on each other. Joe had a kind soul and truly loved his friends. I am grateful that my mom found a friend who made her laugh, feel loved and safe. Rest in peace Joe, you will be missed.
