Unfortunately I never met Joseph but I know by all accounts he was a good man and I can see that in the son (Scott). Because I am sure like his Dad showed him, Scott is a great friend, co-worker and family man. And with the belief in the Life After, he is a happy man now as he joins the rest of his Family. Joseph May You Rest In Peace.
