First real friend When I returned to Jacksonville in 1987. Worked together for many years and had mutual respect for each other. Joe was always there as a true friend if you needed a friend or just someone to talk to. My heart and love goes out to Mava and family during this time of loss. Joe was my best friend and like a father at times to me. I will miss you Papa Joe. Semper Fi and May your spirit rest in Gods hands.
