This still doesn’t seem real! I never met a man that was so full of life like Joe was. Every minute, day, and years spent with him I don’t think I ever saw him in a bad mood. He had the most BIGEST CONTAGIOUS SMILE I ever saw on a person. You will be missed more than you know Joe. What a fighter you were! And now it’s your time to be free of that fight and feel wonderful and be at peace. To my family I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers always. I love you all. ❤️

So sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He made working at Harrah’s a joy. Joe always brought a smile to everyone’s face.
