Our prayers our with you and your family... Uncle Joe is the best... it is an honor for me to have known him and your family all these years... growing up with fond memories of SJB, getting picked up for curfew at a Gordon dance and he signed us all out... hanging out at Carson's all night for NKOTB tickets, and that cool blue conversion van... He is now at peace and in Good Hands... Be thankful for your time with him and always keep him close to your heart...



He will be missed and is probably hanging out with my dad playing dominos up there right now!
