Their first son, Joseph M., who predeceased his father, gave them two beautiful grandchildren, Colin and Mackenzie Young. His youngest son Jeffrey and his wife, Lori also gave them two wonderful grandchildren, Jeffrey Joseph and Arianna Kathleen who both made his world perfect. He was so proud of the wonderful man and father his son Jeff has become and he always thought of Lori as a daughter.
