View all 7 ReflectionsJoseph John Daly was my great grandfather. My grandma was to be born 5 days after her dad died in the line of duty. It is surreal to finally see a picture of a relative that so many of our family talked about. (I agree, Toni, there is such a resemblance to uncle Joe, your grandpa!)
