Going to miss you Grandpa Joe. Give mom and Deb a big hug and kiss for me.
Thank you Joe for your service and the sacrifices you made for everyone. From what Donovan tells us you were amazing.
We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers
I was fortunate to have you as my father inlaw. We had some good times over the year’s. Played alot of poker . Many get togethers.Did a few motorcycle road trips. Then you got hooked on big top bingo. Took you no time at all to get a harem of women wanting to sit by you. You were a Smooth guy. Lot of good stories. With respect and love rest in peace.
