Joe was a stand up guy. He was always down to help out in any way possible. He was certainly one of the good guys. Joe never hesitated to be a helping hand when needed, our family will certainly miss him and we grieve with his family in this difficult time. Love you, Joe, until we meet again- The Buckners
