Gone too soon! As a long lost cousin, I first met Joe when he was 18 years old, and so handsome. Many years passed before we met again. I wish I had gotten to know him better, more than I did over the years. Joe was loved by everyone, and would help with anything and he gave the best "Bear Hugs"! I'm glad I sent him a 70th Birthday card, - he sure didn't look or act his age! Is there a Vito & Nicks's in Heaven? God Bless Joe, he will be missed. Beverly Salomon and Billy Newman
