Joseph "Greatest Storyteller of All Time", Age 84. Passed on to Eternal Life on Saturday, October 4, 2014. Beloved husband of the late Geraldine. Loving father of Darrell, Lisa and Christopher. Grandfather to Darrell, Jr., Derek, Jenny, Alyssa and Sophia. Great-grandfather to Bradan, Madelyn, Anthony and Brooke. Joe loved his family and friends. His greatest love was his newest granddaughter, Sophia. Joe would sit with her for hours and always kept her amused, or vice versa. But that wasn't always enough to keep Joe busy. He had to be on the move. Joe would always find a way, even after giving up his license, to make it out and about. He enjoyed his socializing. Get him a cigar and a cup of coffee and he would always spin you a good story. Ask anyone about Joe, and the first thing you'll hear is, "He's a great guy. What a character!" Everyone loved to see Joe. The conversation might get a little crazy, but that was Joe. His passing is the end of an era, an easier time, when conversations were real and "political correctness" wasn't even a word. We all truly love him. A Celebration of Joe's life was held at Klemmer's Banquet Center in West Allis on Thursday, October 9, 2014.
