Our Salute to Joe,
Joe's career afforded him some nice work locations, California, Maui, Colorado, Florida, all much different from the Chicago he grew up in.
Paul and I got to know Joe in Denver, Colorado while working at Lucent/AT&T/Avaya collectively, what a fun guy, always laughing and enjoying life. Joe loved the Blues and would sing us all a song or two.
He transferred to Jacksonville, FL with us, even moved to the same subdivision, were we played Chicago Rummy (Joe's game), ate Oysters at Neptune Beach, Fettuccine Alfredo at some Italian restaurant a name I can't recall every Wednesday night.
Then, Paul and Joe decided to retire, even on the same day, what a party that was.
When we told Joe we were not staying in Jacksonville as wanted to move to the West coast of Florida, he said if you guys are leaving Jacksonville so am I.
So, he takes this little road trip south and finds His piece of paradise" Punta Gorda, FL," just his style Flowered shirts, Flip Flops, music, Sunshine.
He loved his family and was very proud of his grandchildren.
In his life's journey he made many friend's and we are glad to be two of them.
A Life well lived.
Rest in Peace dear Friend,
Paul and Nancy
