My heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I was both honored and blessed to have Joe as my intern during the summer of 2013 at shenango Presbyterian senior care. He was so special and taught me and my co-workers how important living is. He touched my life in such a way that I will never forget him. I so wanted him to have a happy ending; now he is with god and cancer free. Bless you all and please take care.
