Joe's presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and the countless lives he touched. His legacy is a testament to a life well-lived—rooted in love and family.

May he rest in peace, reunited with his beloved Loretta, and forever watching over the family he cherished so dearly.
