I was a Freshman when Joseph was a senior at Onarga Military School. Being new to military school life and being away from home for the first time Joe, as I knew his first name, showed good leadership and was helpful to all the cadets. I lost track of Joe after he had been graduated. He will surely be missed. Please accept the heartfelt condolences of the Officers & Members of the Onarga Military School Alumni Association.
