I'm sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I remember when I was a child playing basket ball by Paulie and Bobby Wendorf's and seeing Joe pull up in a light blue Mustang Conv. Ear to ear smile. He is a good man with a big heart and will be miss by every who's life he touched. God bless you and your Family.
