Uncle Joe was a great role model for my father and I know that he is the reason my dad is the man and dad that he is today. His sense of humor and kindness will always be remembered. I also want to thank you for showing us at a young age, what it looks like to be a strong, intelligent, and successful woman. Love you both for always treating us as family.
