Nevaire,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Joe's passing. Along with other of Tomball's finest, you two were instrumental in the shaping of my life. You were, and are truly members of the Greatest Generation. May Joe rest in peace and may you always find comfort in his memory. He will be missed, but never forgotten! May the Good Lord bless and keep you.
