Joe I cant believe you are gone especially when I visited you and Pauline Christmas Eve. You had a lot of stories to tell and will be sorely missed. You listen to my Mom when she called you's or when you all called her and I'm so very grateful for all you done for her. The family will miss you every minute but will know that you are now in a place that we will all be together one day. RIP and we will see you one day. My condolences to the Sansom's and all the grandchildren and family. - Posted by: joann droux (sister-in-law) on: Jan 06, 2018
