449 Joe my life has been forever changed because of you. I will continue our goodwill tradition. I will pass on what you gave me. I get to see you every morning as I'm having coffee because your picture is on the fridge. I will always hold dear that even at your sickest you took time to call me on my 5 year birthday. I love you Joe
