Toni, Peter, and Jo Ann,

I knew Joe for over 30 years at the "Oaks". Through many conversations I learned one thing. Joe had a heart of gold and he always said how much he loved his wife and children. He could be tough at times but he was always looking out for their best interest. He will be missed....and Joe, say hi to " Little Joe " for me.
