So very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. So many great memories when we were all younger and crazier and it seemed that Joe was always there as a huge part of our crazy crew! I have to smile thinking about those great times and feel lucky to have known Joe and call him a good friend. Our sympathies to Jenny and the whole family. RIP, Joe!!!
