My deepest condolences at this time of your loss. I was so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He touched my life immensely. I was Joe's paperboy for many years and his was my favorite stop on my route. Eventually I purchased my first dirt bike from him. Later, I taught my own son to ride. He was my favorite customer! I can only hope that the lives he touched brings happiness to those close to him.
