Your Joe to you was my stepfather Fred to me. It sounds like they were cut from the same cloth and had similar paths in many ways. I lost him to dementia in his late sixties and then we lost him completely to Alzheimer’s many years later but I am constantly reminded of how rich my life has been having grown up with him beginning in my teen years. Thank you for reminding me that there are great souls that come into our lives and make a difference that never forgotten.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Truly. I walked the dementia journey with my Dad. God Bless you.
