Joseph Clausius

My dear papa Joe, we loved you so very much. Summers were never boring, holidays were always filled with surprises, visits and joy. You lit up every room, every corner, every space you walked into. Our morning waffle house trips were always bittersweet. Goodbyes are hard enough as they are, but even harder seeing my mom breakdown in tears filled with emotions of missing her father not knowing when or how long we would all get to be together again. You papa Joe, are the best thing I could ever be related to, without you, I wouldn’t have the mom I have, and the rest of the family I have. Thank you for all the memories, the adventures, and the love you loved to share ❤️ fly high in paradise papa Joe

My dear grandpa Joe, Papa Joe, we love you so very much. My mom always talked about how much she always missed you and loved you. Our morning Waffle House trips were bittersweet, knowing we’d all be saying goodbye til next time. I watched from the backseat of the car seeing my mom cry for her dad. She loved her dad. She always will. We always will love you papa Joe. I’ve never once seen you upset or angry, you always had the brightest smile and hummed the coolest tunes. Summers were never boring, holidays were never boring, every milestone and memory you were there, we were whole as a family, as one. My mom, my uncle Mike, my 2 sisters, my stepdad; whole. We love you forever and beyond.

Daddddddyyyyyyyy
