Joe was a force of nature, determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. He worked at General Motors, and then helped build and establish Laurel Home Nursing with his beautiful wife, Fannie and sister-in-law, Cyndi. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned and always tried his best to support them.
