He was our brother Joe, one of five boys and a girl.
He was much loved by everyone in our large family.
One of his greatest attributes was that he took an interest in each of us by listening.
He was a champion listener!
He was a very successful businessman, but his passion was family.
He was also a patriot who volunteered and joined the Navy.
Although he had loving care from his wife, daughter and son, his last days were difficult.
It was typical of Joe to face his illness without complaint.
His joy and love of life is sorely missed.
Just moments before his death, he looked up and smiled.
We all still wonder who was greeting him on the other side?
