So sorry to see that Joe has passed away! I knew both he and his father through the Lion's Club in Eldred. We had some great time together. Joe was a great guy with an out-going personality and was always fun to be around. He enjoyed his hunting and fishing! Deepest sympathy to his family and friends!
