Joe came to this country after surviving the turmoils of WWII to start a new beginning. Despite all the hardships, he never lost his pleasant nature and great sense of humour! Always willing to lend a hand, always with a smile. He was a good man! Along with his wife Tonia they raised two lovely children with cultural and religious values. His hard work and perseverance made him proud. Uncle Joe, you did well in this country! You will be missed and never forgotten!
Vichnaya pamyat!
