Happy Father's Day to Our Patriarch

Our Family Now --and a father who loves them all.
Beautiful Daughter #1
I love the matching glasses.

Beautiful Daughter #2
She loves to laugh with her dad.

All us girls and Rachel, our beautiful daughter-in-love.


The baby boy, our #3, who added so much to our lives.


In a backpack on his dad's back.
Three generations of Joe's, two of whom are in Heaven.
A special father-son bond. Your dad misses you, Joey.
We love you Papa and wish you a special day. Thanks for loving all your kids and grandkids.
You've blessed us all with that love.

Joe, at first look I thought your dad, Joey and you all were in Do Buk - I thought "I didn't know Joe and Joey were into Martial Arts too....

Then I realized, they are bath robes! LOL!

Happy Father's Day Joe. I know you misses both your dad and your son. Soon we will all be in heaven, in a twinkling of an eye. In the meantime, we love having you here. Nice seeing your photo with your lovely ladies :)

Happy Father's Day.

Hi Joe,

You have been such a wonderful inspiration to me. From being an amazing worship leader, an awesome mortgage lender with a lot of great financial and business advice, to a wonderful friend who so lovingly gave me away at our wedding. I've watched you work your way through many years of Recovery and Life Solutions (along with me) and you've been an incredible example of what a husband, father, friend, and man of God should be.

Thank you for the way you've shared and poured into my life. You're the best!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

Love & miss you a lot,

Jeri (& Cliff)

Sitting here bawling my eyes out. Tears of joy and sadness. Tears are such good things to shed for ourselves and others. Makes me feel more dependent on God. I love your blog. Happy belated Father's day.
