Life is not the same without my “Buddy” and all the wonderful moments to share. My personal treasure will always be the memories of our life together. Gone yet not forgotten.

Tonight, the 1866 Kenosha (Southport) Lighthouse Shines In Loving Memory of Shannon Joseph

Ode to Shannon Joseph.
A beautiful soul. Beloved by many. Shannybabe to his mom, Shan the man to his dad. Soulmate to his wife, Kitty. Crannon to his sister. Friend to all. So kind, so loving, so funny, so helpful, so gorgeous. Always helping others. Beloved uncle, nephew and grandson. Lover of penguins, birds, and RX8s. Cherished and missed beyond words can express. A gentle soul gone too soon.
