Our deepest sympathy & thoughts in learning of the passing of one of my closest friends for over 60 years. From his athletic feats & records @ Chamblee HS to his bigger than life personality, we shared those & many great memories in between. Time is THE measure of a true friendship.

Enjoyed listening to Joe's stories and also hearing him talk sports about the days when he was at Chamblee High School. He always asked about others if he hadn't seen them at the Galaxy Diner where we all meet on a daily basis. He was a very nice man and we'll miss him tremendously!

I was deeply saddened to learn of Joe's death. The photo of his smiling face takes me back to the old days at Chamblee High. His family and mine have been friends since about the 1920's, (before Joe was born). Joe was such a Dear and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Carol and Joe,
Uncle Joe was a special man, that I was proud to call Uncle. My mother loved him dearly and has welcomed him with open arms.
I love you both. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
