The kindest man that I have ever known... I was so blessed to have him as a second father. There was no step, he just wanted to be a father to me and my sisters and grandfather to our kids. No dollars could ever equal to the love and support he gave us on a daily basis and putting up with us alone, should have got him his wings.
I love you Papa Joe, I thank God for the time we had together on this Earth and we will meet again.
