I didn't know Joe long .. 5 years. I wish I could have met him sooner so I could love him longer. 

I have had tragedy before in my life & Joe came along to show me I could be loved & treated with respect. He loved unconditionally. We met online & I never thought I would date a guy from New York.. he walked & talked like a crazy Italian from New York. He used to say Can you love this crazy Italian ? Yep.. head over heels. When we started dating, he lost his beloved brother Dom to a heart attack. Before Joe died , he said that devastated him. He talked to his brother everyday & then gone. I am unfortunately there as well. 

Joe was larger than life , giving, lovable (I am going to miss that laugh of his), daring ( he loved to go fast), loved his sweets ( not going to lie.. going to miss his wrappers in his pants pockets when I did laundry), loved his boys Chris & Dj, his dog Zeus & life. He used to always say he had to live today to the fullest because tomorrow might not come. 

I will miss my crazy Italian.. love you my dear man. I hope you watch over all of us.
