Big Joe is gone but never will be forgotten. Hopefully he will watch over his friends and family in death as he did in life. He was a great guy who would help anyone in need. He was so proud of his business and was one of the hardest workers I have ever met. I just wish I got to spend more time with him last few years of his life. He is the main reason I am where I am today because of his vision and work ethic. I will miss you Big Joe... until we meet again bro ..
