An empty feeling that wasn't helped when he was unable to attend his son's funeral. Joe and Cory had been estranged for several years, but had begun talking again a few years before his death.

However, according to Joe, Cory's mother - and Joe's ex-wife - never shared funeral plans, and Joe was unable to attend.

"I didn't get to go to his viewing, which, it would have meant a lot," Joe said.
