I'm so sorry for the pain in your hearts right now. Time will soften the pain but it will still be there. My heart goes out to all the family. He sure left a mark with the nice kids and grandkids. He had a wonderful family. I will always remember Joe's smile. It could warm your heart. So sad that he's gone. Rest in peace Joe.

Deeply sadened by the loss of Joe. I hadn't seen him for years, but I remember him as a small child, little toe head Joe, and sweet young man who was deeply loved by his family. May God keep him from harms way now and prayers for all who are with loss in their heart. Keep faith as God has plans for all his children Amen
