April 26, 2023 is one of great mourning. We lost a husband. a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, an uncle and a dear friend. Joe can’t be replaced but he will always be loved. Joe is a man that made the world go around. He spun miracles with the love he gave to everyone. He was so proud of his family. We are indeed lucky to have been loved by him. At the dinners at his home, he beamed with joy and pride. To Joe, giving was the greatest of gifts. We are lucky to have known him. He was the rare diamond that polishing couldn’t improve. He once said that he prayed he would die before Josie. He said he wouldn’t know what to do without her. His wish was granted. The world is a bit smaller, a bit more gray, a lot more empty. If there is a heaven, then Joe is there, spreading his love.
Life can be sad but we must remember the times of love. That’s why we’ll always remember Joe. May there be dried sausage and figs waiting for him in heaven.
