You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Dear Uncle Joe,

This is Tammy. Thank you so much for your service. You died when I was a little girl, but I am honored to know you protected all of us. I’m so happy to know that everyone is there is partying it up in heaven. And your sister Sally is still down here living it up! I love you very much. Will you kiss my dad for me?

Tammy <3

Your son is with you now..

I was a little kid and remember seeIng Joe come around our block. “Hey, Hot Dog!” He would shout at me. He gave me an old baseball glove, no padding! I remember people talk about how good of a ball player he was.
The last I remember is going to his funeral at Saint Anne’s church then to veterans cemetery on Sepulveda Blvd.
