I worked with Joe and Bev countless hours for KTWU, but my favorite memory is sharing ice cream one time just for fun. He had a lot of interests and stories, and was so happy to visit with volunteers anytime.

Bev and family.
Two favorite memories. All the ways he taught me how to choose good vendors when I was working for marketing services. And the fun times at the St Patrick's day breakfast where you both were working.
Blessings to the family upon Joe's death.

Joe was a good man. He liked to help anyway he could with a worthy cause. I remember how much he helped Assumption Catholic grade school by allowing me to take scrap paper to the school for the children to use. Sister Corita was always so grateful and I know she is thanking him right now. May God rest your soul Joe. Lots of people are going to miss you. I know i will. God bless your family.
