We will always remember our mother's cousin Joe for his quiet strength. He was a cheerful and friendly gentleman and he and Mary were the first to greet my parents when they moved to NC from NJ in 1956.

My thoughts are with his family.I moved here from W-S about 7 months ago. While we never had close business relationships I respected him very much at Lexington Road.
