My uncle Joe (Pepe) was like a second father to me. He gave me my first motorcycle ride on his Triumph Bonneville when I was just a kid. Due to that thrill, I've owned a motorcycle for 50 years. He took me on my first boat ride to fish, but I got sea sick and never went on a boat again without taking Dramamine. We went slot car racing and he coached me to win my first race. He was great at billiards and taught me how to play pool. He loved taking pictures on his vacations, which got me hooked on photography, too. Even though he was the youngest sibling, he was like a big brother to his three sisters Emma, Hilde and Trudi. We are sorry for your loss. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. You were blessed to have him as a husband, father, grandfather and brother.
