Some of the fondest memories from my childhood are of Uncle Joe, Uncle Bob, and Uncle Jim shooting the breeze. Even though I didn’t often understand much of the conversation, and there may have been a little white lie here and there, the laughter was contagious and they always made me feel included. I can hear Uncle Joe’s laugh as I’m typing this.
Uncle Joe was a big part of my life. Teacher me to love the outdoors. I had the pleasure of living with Joe for many years. helping me to learn to hunt and fish the fun we shared was priceless. When I was with him I always felt safe and loved. He will always have a place in my heart. Chopper
