Uncle Joe, you will always be remembered as a man who knew how to have fun and would bring a smile to all of our faces. I can only imagine the card games now going on up in heaven with those who went before you. I am the man I am today in no small part because of the man you were and your example to me. You are already missed by those still here but I know that we will see you again so until then, give all our love and a hug and kiss.

Uncle Joe. I know you are at peace now and you're reunited with Auntie Arleen, but I still miss you. You will always be in my heart.
Love, Nephew John P
