Joe, I always saw you surrounded by students needing help when I walked through the gym hallway. You will be missed by the Morton family. I will remember you in my prayers.

What a shock it was to read about Joe on Facebook. Joe was my good buddy when he was a GA at WSU. We spent a lot of time together and he was great fun, always made me laugh. I went to Emory to do my internship because he was there and I knew he would take care of me in the big city. And we had great fun together there also. My thoughts go out to his family, friends and students. I will miss you Maynard!!!!
