Joe was very caring and kind. A more loyal, hard working man is hard to find. It was a pleasure to know him. RIP Joe.

I've known Joe for a long time and especially when he worked for my dad. He worked on the bingo team at St. Aloysius and told me he had to give up his committee because of his arthritis. RIP my friend.
