Well, I don't think I ever got the chance to meet my great Uncle Joe, but my mom always told me he was such a good man. I know my familly well, and I'm sure he served his country and the Corps well. God bless you Uncle Joe, and may you enjoy God's everlasting paradise.

remembering my Uncle Joe as the neighborhood "ice cream" man. if it werent for the good hearts and souls of Auntie Anne and Uncle Joe, i probably wouldn't have seen any "treats" in my childhood! i am very proud to have been the niece of such a patriotic uncle who fought bravely for our freedom in ww11. he will be truly missed.

with love.....patty
