Not sure what to say?





I had mentioned about riding our bicycles together but we also sat and had conversations with our friend, Steve Pelehach. We had a lot of fun times.

Joe and I were Honey Pot friends. We often went on bicycle rides through Nanticoke and on to Concrete City in Hanover with another friend, Steve. Joe was a good person. I'm sorry for your loss.
