I like to send my sympathy, but find it hard to saythe kind of things that possibly might comfort you to-day.
But perhaps just knowing that my thoughts are with you and all the family now will bring you consolation and lift your heart somehow.

May God give him eternal rest.

Sincerely

Carmen Deguara

I sincerely miss my Uncle Joe. His incredible laugh and outstanding generosity will only be surpassed by the infinite number of memories he left behind with me and my cousins, aunts and uncles. He always had a way of making everyone feel at home and although he is gone, the many memories of the good times we shared will remain with all of us forever. I'll miss you a lot Uncle Joe. Thanks for being the great guy you were!! Love always/Nephew David Grech, Seattle, WA
