Joe was always a very special person. We had fun in Lorain as children and reconnected as adults. I am so grateful for all the time we spent together.  We all enjoyed dinners in San Diego, an event in Winnipeg, and family reunions in Indianapolis. Those were always very special times.  I feel very blessed that we had Joe in our life 

What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.  It is hard to imagine him gone, but the memories of Joe will always remain.  He always had a grin and a sparkle in his eyes and was just waiting to hear what you had to say.  He was a great example of a father and husband and we will always love him dearly.  Chuck and Beth Howell, next door neighbors.
