Joe Schiro was a loving Father-in-Law to me and a wonderful, loving Grandfather to our two children. I feel blessed to have had him and Toni so close to us. Second parents to me for sure! God now holds him dear in his loving arms, as he is reunited with Toni. God bless him and the entire family.

With Love,
Lisa Schiro
