Joe will be dearly missed. He was one of the finest carpenter around. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t build with that pencil behind his ear and a hammer in his hand. He was a faithful friend. Gone too soon.
I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you everyone who is grieving. Death is such a hard part of this life.
I know I am the daughter of his late sister Patricia, it has been hard for all of us in her family and know how sad it is loose a parent and now to have another loss in our family is so sad.
Keep your loved ones close and tell them every day they are loved!!!
Kion, Dawn, and Family – My thoughts and prayers are with you.
