🌷 RIP Joe ~ One of my lasting memories was when I was around the age of 8 or 9, locked myself in our bathroom on the heights, and you and dad had to literally take the entire door down, so I could get out. You & he were my heroes at the time, and if you should see him up in Heaven, give him a hug for me. Rest easy!
