Kathie Papasso passed away at approximately 10 PM this evening. She put up a good fight but with 40 years of Asthma destroying her lungs and COVID killing the little that remained healthy was just too much for her to overcome. Late this afternoon she crashed, and she was able to recover but very slowly and her Oxygen absorption did not come back all the way. Then early this evening she crashed again, this time I was not there, the hospital called and basically told me the end was near, so I went back down.
She lived a good life and I know she had no regrets, she did more in her lifetime than most people can even dream of. She touched everyone with her art and openly shared her knowledge and love of painting with anyone who was interested in learning. Her work is in 5 different countries that I am aware of as at least 10 States being enjoyed by others.
She was a great mother, a better friend and wonderful wife of 46 years. She will be missed.

Thanks Bill for the kind words.
I've worked with many people in my lifetime, many are not good at what they do, some are good at what they do, a very few excel at what they do. Joe falls in the later category.

When we began construction on our home, Joe agreed to help. Helping is an understatement. His knowledge of all aspects of the construction process is amazing.
The entire project has been seamless and predictable, strictly because of his ability to foresee and fend off any issues that could arise.

If you are going to build... Put Joe on your team, period.
