So sorry to hear i worked with joe for many years may he rest in peace

Uncle Joe and Aunt Joe had the most beautiful German Shepherds and so well behaved. Now, I have my own.
I remember Uncle Joe used to chase me around the house with his teeth out. He would call me a little boy because I climbed trees. I would cry, "I'm a girl! I wear dresses!"
I miss you Uncle, but hope to see you soon! I am certain that you will be resurrected to an unending and peaceful
 life on earth where you can landscape to your heart's content.

I love you, my favorite Uncle! You have always been a part of the happy memories I have of my childhood. Even when you made me sit and finish my plate of yucky spaghetti while Mom was in the hospital giving birth to my sister Cindy and I also learned "may I be excused, please?"  Your heart was full of love for my mom's children. 

"...there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" Acts 24:15

I will be there waiting to see you again with open arms.

Love,
Paula

This is a very sad day for all of us.  My brother Joe was such a joy. Growing  up with him had our moments, but we always seem to have fun together. Dad would give us our jobs just to keep us busy and we worked together with them. All except milking the cows.  Joey knew that if you don’t get all the milk they go dry.  Needless to say I ended up with that job by myself.  I also remember the time I got spanked because I wouldn’t let them cut his hair with a bowl. I thought my brother was handsome and I didn’t want them to make his hair look dumb.  There are so many things I could tell you about my brother Joe but it will take up too much space. I will tell you though he put beans up his nose once and really scared me.  I cannot say enough how much I love him.  My prayers are that I will see him again in the new world.  John 5:28, 29 promises there will be a time when  “all those in the memorial tombs will come out “. In the meantime Dear Brother, Rest In Peace.   🙏 

All my love and condolences to Aunt Joan, Joe and family and friends of Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe was so precious and unique and my memories are special, from the beach when we met Aunt Joan, to just cozy visits at moms with his smile and warmth filling the room.  I love my Uncle Joe and look forward to the day when I see him again, in paradise.  🌹

RIP, Joe
I loved connecting when you visited in PA.
One of my fondest memories is 40 years old- when a college driving adventure to 
Daytona led me to visit you and Joan.
So much fun! 
We always laughed together.
You will be missed.

I’ll never forget my very first motorcycle ride...on the back of your bike. I might have been 6 or 7 at the time, and you were all of 24 or so. You always made me laugh, always wore a smile, always made me and my sisters feel special. You will hold a piece of my heart forever and you will always be my very favorite Uncle Joe. 

The birthday picture on my previous post was taken on Joe’s 80th birthday in December. He ate every bit of that  cake! And enjoyed it. ❤️

Gramps, Joe, Poppy, Dad, Husband. A life well lived with Joan for 54 years of marriage. A builder, bus driver, semi driver, RV enthusiast. I will miss you. You have earned your rest. You have been loved! ❤️
