I don't know much about my grandpa Joe I only meet him twice when I was a very small child I know that he went by Joe and not Donald I believe that is because of my Grandmother who had a grandfather, father, brother husband and son were all named Donald. I have learned more about him through my genealogy research but it still isn't much.
