We miss you daddy!
After working as a union carpenter for Navarro Corporation, our dad retired at 62. He helped build and/or put additions on all of the hospitals in Pittsburgh, as well as Pittsburgh International Airport and many of the buildings in the area, which he was so proud of and rightfully so.
After retirement as a carpenter, our dad spent over 20 years buying and selling items at auctions and flea markets everywhere, making friends everywhere he went. We couldn't go anywhere with or without someone coming up to us so happy to see "Joe".
Thanks to everyone who helped fill our dad's life with happiness.
