I've known little Joe since I started working and the Chevy Plant. Both of us were involved in the Union and worked together. He had great stories and was a great American. He will be missed by all

Candy and I will treasure always the blessing of having known "Little Joe" as American Hero and friend." We loved spending time with at the 507th PIR reunions and chating by phone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
Attached is one our favorite photos of Joe. This was taken during the 2007 reunion when we were shuffling from location to location at Ft. Benning. His son in law, Jerry, by his side.
