My sincere sympathy and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. I remember Joe as being Kay and Valencia's big brother when we were in school at Sacred Heart. We always looked up to him as he watched out for us.

I have many fun memories of Joe in his youth. Once, at soccer practice, when Joe was having trouble hitting the goal, he suggested that if a picture of the then current governor of Alabama were to be put in the back of the net, he would hit it every time! He always had something for us to laugh about.
May God be with you and help you through these tough times.
