Papa Joe


Jeremy's dad passed away on Sunday September 20. It was a very big shock to all of us. Jacob loved papa Joe more than anything. He loved helping him on the 20, going to Dari Sweet to get cheeseballs or just playing hide n seek with him. Papa Joe did so many things for us that we didn't realize he did. He gave us a beautiful sign at the end of our driveway, always was bringing Jacob something. Joe spent Labor Day with us this year. He watched Jacob in the parade, the bike race and pulling the lawn mower. Joe visited with many of his old friends. There was not a person in Diagonal that didn't like Joe. He was always asking about the new baby and when we could find out what it was. Everytime he called Jeremy he always asked how Jacob and I were. Jeremy is going to miss his dad more than anything. Jeremy just wishes he could have done something to help him. It is going to be a hard adjustment for all!
