Aunt Irene, Sue & Jerome... I'm very sorry that you've lost such a wonderful man. Uncle Joe was always such a character, making us laugh and telling us stories like when he was in WWII, and the ship he was on docked, and he looked over and saw his brother on the ship docked next to his. He was such a blessing to the folks over at Fellowship Circle and so many others. His reward from our faithful Lord is now his, and I'm sure he's enjoying the reunion with family and friends from a full life. Please know that he's in the best hands, and you will see him again. It's not an end. It's a glorious new beginning. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you all.

Aunt Irene, Sue and Jerome, I am so sad to hear about Uncle Joe. I will always remember him exactly as the picture you have here. I don't recall ever seeing him without a smile on his face and always loved the sound of his laughter. May all the wonderful memories you have bring a measure of comfort right now. You are all in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks. Love to you all
