About me and my family ...


  Joe Sr (me), Patty (married me 30 years ago), son Joe Jr (24) and daughter Tana (27)
This snapshot was taken of me and my family recently. My daughter is now married with three children, and my son just got married
.


Family Photo Album
Here is a brief trip through time with me and my family using a few of my favorite photos.

Patty, Joe and dog Muffin
Here are the newlyweds some 28 years ago, going on a backpacking trip. Between us, on the ground, is our first "child", our dog Muffin.

"He looks just like you, Joe!" says Patty with a giggle.

Patty and Tana, age 2
I really like this photo of my wife and daughter, which I took about 22 years ago. My how time flies! Now my daughter has her own children: two daughers and a son.

Daughter Tana with her son, Bobby Jr (1 year old)
And here's a picture of my daughter with her son, Bobby Jr!

Tana's two daughters on deck chair looking cute
And here's a photo of her two daughers, Braili and Hanah out on the deck, ready to go nite-nite!

Son Joey in front of SP4449 steamer, and shot of steamer coming into Salem
This is a favorite picture of my son (when he was 12) standing in front of the famous steamer 4449.  It was a cold, misty February day, but that didn't matter. He was so excited to get to stand in front 4449 and get his picture taken!

Son Joey and his new wife Katie
My son was recently married to a sweet girl named Katie who immigrated from Russia a few years ago. Here's a short video clip from their wedding: click here to see video.

Joe Sr and wife Patty
Here's a recent photo of me and my wife taken by our daughter. Not bad for a couple of 50 year olds! Patty is very supportive of my model train hobby, even telling me, "Joe, I think you need to go work on your trains" whenever she detects that I'm stressed. Yes, I am truly blessed!

 

And here's a delightful photo of our best friend --
all of the family knows Him well ...

may have it more abundantly."  --Jesus Christ
