I knew Joe through my dear friend Marjorie. Her love for him is eternal. She admired his genius as a great guitarist, appreciated his friendship and will always appreciate the support of his brother .

To the family of Joe McMullen I am sorry to hear of your loss.
I played with Joe in the high school band. He was the
leader of our trombone section. He was a great person.
I never forgot him.
God bless the family.
