Throughout his life, he was an advocate for the disabled, being involved in such organizations as Open Doors for the Handicapped. Joseph was very active and loved to try new restaurants, attend movies, and cultural events. He was very social and loved to tell jokes. He had a contagious laugh and smile that lit up any room.

Hi Beth, It just occurred to me that I might have missed Joe's memorial service. I hope not, but want to let you and your family know how much I appreciate you taking care of Joe. Yes, you are family, but there are a lot of family members who would not have done what you and Joe did, even if they would have had the means to do so. I love your Dad with the Spirit of God and offer you 2 Corinthians 2-7 as comfort in knowing that the Father has everything in control. Love always, Carol

MY DEAR COUSIN JOE WAS A SPECIAL PERSON. WHENEVER I WOULD GET BACK TO PITTSBURGH, I WOULD ALWAYS MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO VISIT JOE. HE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND, NEVER WITHOUT WORDS OF WISDOM, AND NEVER WITHOUT GOOD JOKES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO BETH AND HER HUSBAND JOE FOR TAKING HER DAD INTO THEIR HOME AND CARING FOR HIM ALL THESE YEARS. ALWAYS REMEMBER, WHEN WE DO KIND THINGS, WE RECEIVE A SPECIAL BLESSING. WITHOUT OUR FAITH IN GOD, AND WITHOUT OUR FAMILY TO LOVE AND CARE FOR, WE HAVE NOTHING. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THE MEMORIES OF THE TIMES I SPENT WITH MY DEAR COUSIN JOE AND HIS LOVELY FAMILY.
