My thoughts go out to the family of Joe. I am the grandson of Copper Long, one of Joe's best friend and co-workers. I can remember Granddaddy and Joe always going to the baseball games or Mr. Joe as I called him always over visting. He always was very nice and kind to me. He was great loving person. My prayers are with all of you.

I remember Joe and my father, Cooper Long, always going to the baseball games together at Smith Wills or sometimes just meeting to have lunch together after they both retired. After Daddy died, I tried to keep up with Mr. Joe, but did not do a very good job of it. My children even remember Mr. Joe. He was almost like a part of our family and will be missed.
