Joe was the best dad ever. He never played about about his kids or his grandkids. He was hilarious as well. If you have ever come in contact with him I'm sure he made you laugh. He was more than just my father he was also my best friend.  He loved to talk and was quite a storyteller. He was a music lover. Played the guitar. I remember being a kid and seeing him pull out his big amplifier and thinking, Uncle Jake coming...lol. I knew that was the only time be pulled out the big one. His life took some major blows just like everyone else's but he NEVER folded. His love for his kids kept him sane. Ole "break me off: didn't play the radio either. Always threatning to make somebody ride his knife. My Daddy will forever live through me. His memory is as vivid to me today as it was 6 years ago when God called him home. His light will forever shine. Rest easy Daddy! And until we meet again I'm gonna make sure I keep your memory alive.
