I am so sorry to hear about your dads passing. I will always remember how nice he was to me as a kid when we were probably tearing up his house or yard while playing as kids

I wish to send my condolences to the family, relatives and close friends of Joe. We were good friends during our high school days at Schurz. I believe those were wonderful years and having Joe as a classmate was part of it. I last saw him at our 50th class reunion in 1999. From our conversation that night I think Joe had a good and enjoyable life. I believe there will be future reunions that I'm looking forward to.
