Joe had a love for movies, music, writing creative stories, Christmas, and BBQ but his greatest love of all was for his family. He considered himself the luckiest man alive when he was in the company of his loved ones.

If you knew Joe, you liked Joe. His kind heart was something pure and special. His smile and laughter were contagious. He could light up a room with the joy he presented.

The memory of Joe's kind spirit, passion for the simple joys in life and his humility will live on through his daughters and grandbabies. They were his pride and joy.

Joe will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
