I struggled in High School with severe depression (we didn't know that is what was going on) I left school early alot and I had to have him sign me out/permission. I will always remember how gracious he was with me and never made me feel bad about my absences. That was a big deal for me.

Coach McGinn taught me Math in 8th Grade and Health and PE in 9th Grade at Ranson Jr High (1964-66). Thanks to him I had no trouble with Algebra. He was one of my customers at Hardee's on Little Rock Rd when I was a manager there in the early 1980's.

My senior year at West Mecklenburg (1980) I was his assistant during 6th period. He was a very firm but very fair man. I have always considered it an honor to know him. My heart goes out to his family.

Class of 1984: He was so patient with me. I needed to leave school early a lot and he had to sign my paper. He never made me feel bad about it like he just knew I was struggling with depression. Condolences to the family..

Joe was a neighbor when we were in Berryhill School, and in a quartet together. We enjoyed a lot of activities together. My wife and I got to visit Joe and Sarah in Salisbury a few years ago. He was a good friend and companion during our school years. May God's greatest blessings be with all the family. >
