I have nothing but fond memories of Papa Joe. He was a good man and was always kind to me and my family. I am devastated to hear the news and I am sending all the love and support that I can.

I’ve fond memories of animated conversations with Joe (the son of one of my favorite uncles). Though we didn’t see each other often he was always welcoming and happy to see my Dad and I. I have vivid memories of him with young Jay and Kerri at my uncle’s Reading pool. Glad we reconnected on Facebook over the past few years. May he rest in eternal peace with relatives who have preceded him in death.
