Aunt Patti, Aunt Ginny and family,
We will deeply miss Uncle Joe and our thoughts are with all of you in your time of sorrow.
I have many wonderful memories of our family time together with Uncle Joe and vividly remember many of the hilarious stories he told over the years.
The world is a better place because of his service to this country in time of war and I am grateful to him for that service and sacrifice. I wish we could be there with you to honor him.
With love and sympathy: Chris, Jessica, Henry and Ella Grace
