After working 30 plus years, Joe retired from the House of Home Made Sausage. Joe’s family would like to thank all the special people of Hometown Hospice for helping us honor his wishes in his final days. We would also like to thank Dr. Steven Merry and his nurse, Ellen, Dr. Kumar Sujeet and Julie for all their wonderful care.
