21yrs ago at 5:02 am, Joe,Jr came on to this Earth to raise hell, which he has done a very good job of doing. As a parent I couldn't ask for a better son.
The picture below is Joe,Jr at a few days old sitting in my shoe. He was so small that my wedding ring would go over his wrist. Preemie Cabbage Patch Doll cothes were too big & so was the one ounce bottle they fed him with.



This is Joe at 21 yrs old w/his girlfriend Kelsey who is also in the Marines.


Isn't it amazing how fast they grow up.

So Happy Birthday Joe where ever you are, it's a shame we all can't be together on this day.....


Love ya kiddo, dad
