I am so saddened by Joe's passing. He had such a warm smile and a unique sense of humor. Being with him at Evans baptism is a memory I will cherish forever. He warm smile, how proud he was of not only being a godfather, but an uncle. The loved he showed and how proud of his sister and brother in law will be forever etched in my mind. I love and will pray for all of you.
