I am sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I had the pleasure of working with and learning the insurance business from Joe. He was the consumate insurance professional; detailed, intellegent and motivated. He was also a great joke teller, golfer and family man. My heart goes out to Edyth and family. I hope your great memories give you comfort in this sad time.
