Big Goo Goo, the name I knew you as a kid, my brother also Joe was Little Goo Goo. I have fond memories of all those Thanksgiving dinners at your parents house, my Aunt Mary and Uncle Henry, the cousins all playing at the school yard off Camp Street in Norwalk. I was an altar boy and was able to participate in the mass at your wedding with Delores. As we got older you would take me fishing with my son Matt and sometimes we would get a nice haul of flounder. We went to Jai Alai several times with your daughter, Carol when Connecticut had it. I will always cherish those memories. We last saw each other at Carol's house when you visited with my cousin Delores. My condolences go out to both Carol and Little Joe and their immediate families and to your sister, Mary Ann and her husband Sam, also to all the other relatives on the Haas side. Cousin you led a remarkable life and I will miss you. Rest in peace Big Goo Goo
