Joe was quite the handyman. He could fix anything around the house and enjoyed carpentry. He had a love for cooking and would make large meals for the family. When the kids were little, Joe would often take them fishing. And of course, no statement about Joe would be complete without mentioning GOLF! His greatest passion, besides family, was anything associated with golf. If he wasn’t on the green, you could find Joe in front of the TV watching that week’s golf tournament.
We love and miss you. May you Rest in Peace and always have the wind at your back … so the golf ball flies further!
