Joe and Christina married in 2006 and shortly after welcomed Emma in 2007 and Sophia in 2014, the joys of his life!  Joe loved spending time with his family, especially family vacations in Aruba and Salisbury, Massachusetts.  At the end of the day he would watch the sunset and say “This is the Best Time of the Day!”
