Debi and Vinny,
Your father was a good decent man, he has been doing work at my home in South Mills for 12 years. I looked forward to seeing him pull up in the driveway with his van, he often had JB with him.
They would come totally prepared with lunch, and I would sometimes sit with them and just talk about everything. Joe was the best at what he did, his workmanship was second to none.
My wife Carol and I feel like we lost a family member, he was a gift from God and we will never forget him.
God bless you and Vinny, we will always have Joe in our hearts forever!
Dianne Herring

I’m sorry that your heart hurts and you have such a loss to contend with. My heart goes out to Vinny he’s such a cute kid and you can just tell he’s a great young man.You both have each other. Just Hold On Tight and let time heal your wounds as well as you can expect. I love you and you have my love my prayers and my hugs.
