Happy Joe Whitty completed his life’s work, Tuesday, October 29, 2019. He now rests in God‘s loving arms. He was a fabulous father, grandfather, brother, uncle, community- leader, as well as an advocate for those with special needs.

Joe inspired us all. Feel free to post your stories, messages and photos.
