Pappa Joe, You've made the transition into comfort and peace. We are now shedding our painful tears. Heaven opened up thier doors and welcomed an incredible man. A man that was filled with love. A man filled with kindness. A man that was always generous. A man that loved life. You were always devoted to to your loving wife Maureen. Your little girl Lola Never forgot your family. Never forgot your friends. Opened your heart and doors to who ever entered. When ever I needed help or advice,you were first in line to guide me. You took me under your wing as a son. Something that always gave me comfort. Your voice has gone silent. But the memories remain vibrant. All the laughs,the fun,the great times we had will always be treasured. You've made me a better person and I thank you for being my Dad. I write this with tears in my eyes because I love you. I miss you. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. All my true love, Your second Son, Dougie
