What to say about a brother who I've alternately loved, hated, despised and admired? Joe was complicated, as was our relationship. But despite the occasional anger, he was committed to his family. His demons and his angels were worn on his sleeve for the world to see. For the past few years, we had no anger, only brotherly love and I'll be forever grateful for that. He wasn't always happy about it (and often complained), but for the most part, he always did the right thing when it came to family...eventually! Joe, I forgive you for every unkind word and deed. I wish I would have said that to you in person. For the remainder of my life, I choose to only remember the good. I love you bro. Mark
