"Words cannot express how much you meant to me Uncle Joe! Your intellect was outstanding and you were a compassionate and caring man. You gave me so many books to read. I hope I will one day read all of them! I will forever treasure our numerous conversations over the years. You and Aunt Ann have done so much for me all of these years, and I am forever grateful for everything. I am sorry to see you go but I know you are now free from suffering and in the hands of a loving God. May you rest in peace. Keith Pascoe"
