I have many fond memories of Joe which I have always cherished and I count him as one of my best friends ever. It is a shame that time and distance had not allowed us to keep close but he and all his family have and will always be in my heart. Now may God receive him in his house and may God give comfort to all his friends and family. He will surely be missed by many!
