Joe and I went through school for 12 years together as well as Bible School for many years. We rode bikes together and played in Pony Creek and got cokes at Bippus Drugstore. I´ve only seen you a few times since we graduated but each time we talked as easily as we did many years ago. Rest in peace, Joe

I have known Joe since first grade. We went all the way through school together, and I always enjoyed his friendship. My condolences to Joe's family.
