My sincere condolences to the family on your loss. I have so many fond memories of Joe going back to our 8th grade class at Bedford High School in 1951. Joe played on the football and baseball teams there. His Dad, John taught me how to play horseshoes and we spent many hours on the horseshoe pits near greenwood park along with Melvin Wood. Be thankful for his live and cling to the good memories.
God Bless
