To Nina and the whole family, Yolanda & I wish to extend to you our sincere condolences for your loss. Joe was a dear person who will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. I don't think growing up, I ever heard him complain about a single thing. He was just easy going. God bless Joe and the whole family. Our prayers are with Joe and all of you always. Tony and Yolanda
