So Very Sorry to Hear that. Joe and I go back all the way to Elementary School together. He was always a Good Friend to everyone He was Also President of Our Graduating Class in 1957 at Hart Junior High School in Congress Heights D.C. and as most of those who Knew Joe were aware that He was A Stellar Athlete. I'm Pretty sure I remember that He Had at Least Two brothers One was Roger and His older Brother was always called Buddy and a Sister Norma I Believe . Sincere Sympathy to Joe's Family and Friends who are Left to mourn his Passing Blessings to You all . R.I.P. Old Friend . Charlie Brown
