Uncle Joe I will miss uou I have many fond memories of you from my childhood in what now seems like another world .. you were the first person to get me to eat ham .. you got me to try it in exchange for a finger puppet named Wimpy... I love it to this day and always think back to that memory and many others .. God bless I know you in heaven with grandma and grandpa and uncle Frank and aunt Aida and auntie Betty and auntie Eva and uncle Tony and all our many departed family that we miss.. see you when I get there .
