There will be a celebration of his life at his home in Duluth(TBD).Joe and Jane's immediate family will have celebrations of his life this summer at Roosevelt & Crystal Lakes.

Jane would like to offer sincere thanks to the kind, compassionate Duluth police officers that helped immensely on the 15th.

Joe was a social, funny, charming, loving, and kind person. He will be greatly missed by all the lives he touched; his loving wife, family, friends and Miss Kitty.
