I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Joe's wife Paula and his family. I pray that you all find comfort in your souls as you grieve this unexpected loss. I knew Joe from way back when i was a kid and he alwyas was so nice to me and often referred to me as his daughter. He loved his motorcycles and i know he is in a much better place now. I love you all and find time to hug one another and tell them you love them, life is too short to wake up with regrets. God bless.
