I miss my grandfather very much, even though I didn’t get to visit him that much, I do miss Jim a lot. Now that he is in a better place, I am glad he doesn’t have to deal with any more problems in his life I was Joseph’s daughter Debbie Bercume (piccolo)’s son David Bercume.
We will miss Joe so much! I remember the first time I met him and he had me laughing at the pharmacy, when my oldest daughter was real sick and I was in Gretna Pharmacy picking up a prescription. He helped me to laugh and know she would be okay! Every weekend when we would visit after church, he would always pick on Wayne for me! What a blessing Joe was. Prayers to the family.
