I was lucky to get to know Jo-ro during a tour of Europe in the Summer of 2008, at such a young age he was such a bright spirit. We wanted him here, but Heaven wanted him home even more. He will deeply missed until we all meet again.

In 6th grade, Joseph, Ronald and Nick talked me into taking them down to the old market to play their instruments on the corner. They made $30 in about 30 minutes. They closed up Joe's saxophone case and said they were ready to go eat spaghetti on my dime! Joe had an infectious smile and zest for life! Memories are blessings from God. We will pray for your comfort! Julie (Nick's mom)
