To the Greco family - Sorry to hear of the loss of your father.
Although I didn't know him I did know some of his children.
If a man may be measured by his children then he had a very successful life

I worked for Joe many years and I still consider him one of the kindest most generous men I ever knew. He never asked me once to do something without prefacing it with "Patsy, do me a favor will you?" I know how much his family will miss him....my thoughts and prayers go out to all.
