I met Joe aout 25 years ago through a mutual friend.. I would see Joe and Di at my friend's house during the many parties she and her husband had.. As a native New Yorker myself I enjoyed my conversations with Joe and Di and talking about the Yankees. I gleaned from our conversations that they had lived all over the world during his Army career. I hadn't seen them in over 20 years but remember them well. Joe was always entertaining though not as outspoken as Di. I wasn't aware that she had passed away. They were definitely proud of their children and I had the pleasure of meeting one their "boys" and his wife. A very lovely couple with a loving family.
