We were so sorry to hear of the passing of our son-in-laws Dad Joe.  We shared many holidays together.  He was a loving and kind man and will be sorely missed.

No one can prepare you for the loss of a loved one. We are deeply saddened to lose our loving Dad.  This week we gained an angel in heaven that will watch closely over us until we meet again.  We will always remember the good times and the fun we had together as a family.  Joe will also always remember the good times growing up, how Dad taught him to fish in Bull Run Park, drive when he became a teenager and guide him as he became an adult.  Dad will always live on in our hearts and in our minds.  Rest in peace Dad.  We love you! ❤️
With love,
Joseph, Melissa, Jason, and Joey Birmingham
