Chris, Stephan, Alyson and Joey, and the Jurgovan and Moody families:

There are no words to express the sadness over the loss of Joe. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, son-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle and friend! It was very obvious how much he loved his family and friends. A man who always had a smile on his face and made sure to put one on yours. My heart goes out to all of you. He will be deeply missed. Have no dobut that he is watching over all of you. Remember his smile and all the great times and he will always be with you. I will keep you all in my prayers.
