I am truly saddened to learn of my Uncle Joe’s passing. I spent alot of time with him and his family as a kid and have many great memories of spending time with him and our family. Although we had lost touch over the years, my mom (his sister, Clara) spoke to him often before her own passing in October 2023, so I knew he had struggled with some really devastating health issues for many years. I hope he is at peace now. I will forever cherish my many fond memories of him and hope he knew how much he was cared about and loved.
