I remember the morning when you were taken from the family. I heard the news on the radio and couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was just 15 at the time. I wish I had more time with you, but I have fond memories of seeing you and visiting you when my Dad would take me to Asbury Park. You are my Godfather and always treated me like your own. I think of you all the time. Rest easy Uncle Joe. I will keep you in my heart always.
