I was a friend of Joe's back in the high school days and have many good memories of hanging out in his basement, shooting pool, and listening to load music. So sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his entire family. Although we have not seen each other for many years I often think of Joe and the times we spent growing up together. He is missed.
