Joseph Palumbo, Jr. Joe was my big brother, my only brother. Even though he was 7 years older then me, growing up with him was the best part of growing up. We had great times together. He was always there for me, always watching over me. loved calling me his little sister. Telling me, "Big brothers always watching." I believe he still is.
