Joe took like 10 poor people in his family out of a failing steel town and when they arrived in California they were stars.
He whooped his kids like many parents of the day did, but it’s easy to criticize since someone has to be the bad guy.
I’m sure he wasn’t flawless and there was a point when he needed to let his grown kids to their thing but they wouldn’t have been shít without him.
