Joe, our beloved dad is in a better place than he’s ever been before. All his pain is gone, he’s now at rest, nothing troubles him anymore; it’s we who feel the pain of our sadness and our grief, we have to cry, to mourn our loss before we get relief. He will look over all us and help guide us through life’s many challenges. We know we’ll all meet with him again and see his cherished face. When our day comes he’ll be waiting for us with open arms… We LOVE you Grumpy. Joe will be missed by numerous friends and family and all who knew and loved him. Joe lived a very simple life, and for that we honor his wish to keep his service very simple.
