Grandpa Joe 💜 Thank you for all the wonderful memories growing up, I will never forget watching A&E Cold Case Files with you, eating kit-kats and developing my interest in true crime cases which to this day is still a way for me to wind down and fall asleep. I miss your kindness and comfort and your stories of WWII with your best friend King, and how you lost your left ring finger. I was only 10 when you passed but so many of my childhood memories exist in your home, with Grandma Joan and how the love between you stayed eternal and always prospered. You still loved each other so much after so many years together, which I looked up to so dearly and developed a traditional insight into how love after so many years should be. I love the way you two would still slow dance. I hope you are in peace and know that you will be forever loved and remembered. I am Married for nearly 17 years, and a mother to now to two beautiful children who have grown into teenagers, and to whom I have passed down your name and so many memories. Your legacy remains strong and it always will. Love you forever, Krystal - Posted by: Krystal (Great-Granddaughter) on: Jun 11, 2026
