I know just today about Joe's passing. His great Friends in the FBI golf tournament included Larry Grace of Hollister, Ca. who lived in Ojai near other great friends Bob and Jeanine Cosden, all 3 are together in the hereafter sharing memories of Golf rounds and perhaps playing a 2 light year par 5 in the heavens.

God Bless

I was fortunate to be one of many FBI Agents whom Joe befriended and will always cherish the special moments. Joe was one the most compassionate and generous people I've ever met.
One of my most vivid memories of Joe was in 1980, seeing that big old Irishman crying joyfully at the baptism of his goddaughter,Robyn.
Sincere condolences to the family.
Heaven will never be the same.
