One Of His Sons Died
In 2009, however, Joseph passed away after suffering a drug overdose. He was survived by three kids of his own. Before he died, he had not spoken to his father for two decades. In fact, his own children had not met their famous grandfather. And there was more to it than that as well.
He Refused To Pay For The Funeral
