My precious brother, I can´t believe you´ve been gone three years. I miss so much about you. I had to go through another cancer surgery, but this time without your love and support. The memories of all you were to me will never fade. I love you always and am grateful your pain is gone. Miss you every day.

I am so sad.

I met Joe 40 years ago as we were colleagues at HIS Stores for Men.

Joe always had a smile on his face and many success stories to share. Throughout the years after our shared employment, I would always call Joe when I was in the Clearwater / Port Richey are.

We always greeted each other with a stern handshake and a hug. He was very proud of his family and always showed me photos of them.

My visits to Clearwater / Port Richey will never be the same.

Condolences to the extended family.

Precious brother, my heart is broken to go on without you. You gave all of yourself to everyone and everything you did in life. I will miss your laugh, your smile, your caring ways. The suffering is over; I love you forever.
