Jason and I would like to offer our condolences to you all - Kathy & David, Mary Jo & Darren and Joseph. Uncle Joe was 'the' uncle in my life and I always enjoyed his company, the stories he told, how he did things right, and his strength of character. I remember when I was young, possibly 8, I was chewing gum and talking to him. He told me to take the gum out of my mouth while talking as chewing gum 'made me look like a cow'. I always smile when I think of that. And I never chew gum because I don't want to 'look like a cow'! Jason remembers visiting Uncle Joe, usually in the mornings after we would arrive into town, and Uncle Joe would offer him a whiskey at 11am in the morning and really encourage him to have one! And of course we have our wooden spoon, which we use often. It is good to have these memories. Much love from Jason and I.
