Joe was one of the kindest souls I ever knew. I had the pleasure of working with him one summer at St. Francis of Assisi Church and I saw first-hand how hard he worked and how much he cared for that property, inside the church and out. I will always treasure a visit he made to Milwaukee many years ago so we could take him to the Circus Parade, something he had always wanted to do. Bless you, Joe. Straight shot to heaven for sure.
