While here on this earth Joe loved many people and had lots of hobbies. He loved his children fiercely and was a devoted father. He was constantly amazed by his son's intelligence and his basketball skills. His daughter was always his "sweet pea" and his princess, and he loved her spirit and snuggles. His life was lived for his children. He loved playing guitar in his spare time, building computers, and took a lot of pride in his yard work and home.
For those that knew him, his laugh was contagious and his smile infectious. He gave the best bear hugs, was quick with a joke and his heart was huge.
"You are loved for the boy you were, the man you became and the son you will always be."
