Joseph you will be missed. My father also passed at age 56. You were both too young and this makes no sense to me. My sincere empathy, sympathy and condolences for your family.

It was an honor to have met Joe. In AP history we would laugh so hard together that it's a wonder we weren't sent to J.U.G.(detention). Then playing high school baseball together, he did an excellent impersonation of Coach Lyons,
especially when we lost badly. Joe was a quality, genuine, great man. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with your family.
