The world's a bit darker and dimmer today without the presence of your light and laughter, in it, Uncle Joe. You were a kind, generous, witty and loving soul. A man of character and grace. The legacy you leave behind , are a wife and children, who will carry on with the values, which you and Aunt Sis taught and shared and past along , by your example .
Each of your children, have your loving heart, your work ethic, your sense of humor, your faith……..your family values .and an unyielding devotion to and for each other, and those they love.
Your presence delighted all who had the pleasure and privilege to know and love you, and your absence will deeply impact all our lives, just the same.
You will be loved and missed forever and always. Until we meet again , dear Uncle Joe, may God be good to you Rest in peace and paradise.
Love, Your Niece,
BettyAnne
