I was a waitress at Arbor Rose for almost two years and Joe made every day better. He always had a hug, a smile, and a "good morning, honey!" for me. He was the first person whose name I learned, because he always wanted a cuppa joe. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May you all find solace knowing he is now at peace.
