    I was very saddened to hear of the loss of my cousin Joe. 
 I will always remember him as being a very happy go lucky guy.  
He always had a glint in his eye  and a smile on his face. 
 He was a very giving person who loved his family. 
 My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to all his family. 
 We will all miss him.


Our brother, Joe, had a heart as big as can be and would give you his shirt off his back. He was more accepting of your faults and had a great sense of humor. He was loved and respected by his family and friends and will be sorely missed. He loved God, family and country in that order.  
Love Always,
Charlotte and Grace

Joe was the eldest of my cousins.  I have fond early memories of  growing up in our maternal grandfather’s  3-family  house.   I will never forget a trip to Canada with  his mom, dad and sisters, Joe  did much of the driving ( picture of us here).  Joe   was influential in introducing me to my late husband with whom I had 3 wonderful children.   We lost track of each other thru the years but reconnected on Facebook where we shared many opinions.  Those who knew Joe knew he had many strong beliefs but the strongest was in Jesus.  Rest in peace with Mitzi and your daughter, Joe.  I miss our conversations.

Joe was a second brother to me. We grew up together, along with my real brother Charlie, who we lost in a car accident when I was thirteen. Joe was always there for me. We played baseball together and we were in the Navy at the same time for awhile. He was my Best Man at my wedding. I regret that we always lived so far apart in our later lives. I was so happy that he had such a good and long life with Mitzi. They were great for each other. He will be sorely missed, and he will be in my prayers every day.
