Both grandfathers and one uncle precede Joe in death.
Joe was passionate about his beliefs and actively supported his causes.
He had a big heart and was loved by his family and friends. He brought a gift of joy whenever he walked into a room. He had a way of perfectly capturing what was going on around him with his thoughts and words. He also had a way of finding fun.
Joe was a Danville High School graduate and received an associate’s degree from DACC.
He was employed with Bungee as an auxiliary operator. He will be missed by all that knew him.
Per his and his family’s wishes, Joe will be cremated and a public memorial celebration will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, July 6, 2009, at Sunset Memorial Park Chapel Mausoleum located at 3901 N. Vermilion St. in Danville. E-mail condolences may be sent to the family at www.sun
