I was shocked to hear of Joe's passing. I loved him. He could always make me laugh. We joked around whenever we saw each other. He loved his family and friends. He was SO proud to be an uncle. He could cook anything. he never gave up. He was the kind of son anyone would be proud of. I'mm glad he was a part of my life. God Bless.
