I would like to offer my condolences to the Phelps family.
One thing about Joe that I will never forget is when he loaned me a set of his golf clubs so I could be on the high school golf team with Ronnie. I also knew Joe through Stratoflex, and it was always a pleasure to see and talk to him at work.

May God bless you!

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
