Joe was an important part of my legal career beginning in high school when he directed Explorer Post 207 and served as a wonderful mentor for those of us interested in the law! He was one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I ever met. I owe him everlasting thanks! My deepest condolences to his loved ones. He was special. May he Rest in Peace.
