Joe was a great person, he taught me so much when i was young. The memories I had is when we would go crabbing and run the catfish lines. Joe help me in so many ways, he taught me to do formen work on the waterfront, he always treated me like a son. Joe, you surely will be missed, but you will never be forgotten.
