I'm so sorry to hear about Joe. I worked for him at the Columbus airport for the first five years of my career until he retired. I look back fondly on those years.

My Father, Ernest L Passailaigue, Sr., was Benny's Brother. He was very close to his Nephew, Billy and thought highly of Joe. I "knew" Joe mostly through family stories told by Billy and my Father. I remember them saying Joe was a kind man and as the obituary stated, "Joe never met a stranger". My prayers and thoughts are with Joe's family, especially Catherine.
