My brother Joseph was a kind child that grew into a kind and caring man. Yes as in all families we had our rough patches. We were able to get through them. Even during the rough times, we still loved each other. Growing up my brother was my protector. He walked me to and from school. I was his baby sister. And he was my Guardian Angel . I will never forget his big smile. And his laugh. I will never forget how he held my hand as a child because I was afraid of monsters under my bed. I will miss him with all of my heart.  Yet in my heart I know that we will see each other again in heaven.  My prayers are with my sister in law Karen and my nephews Joseph and Jason. May God wrap you in his loving arms and give you strength and comfort during this time of sorrow. May God bless all of you. May my brother Joseph rest in peace. I love you Joe.

I remember my cousin as being a kind person who loved and spoke of his family whenever we talked.  His wife and children were always very important to him.  He is remembered for his service to the community in the fire service.  Karen, Joe Jr and Jason, our thoughts and prayers are with you as well as our deepest condolences.  God bless you all.
