In my first comment I was incorrect about schools. I looked in the yearbook and he was at Franklin Jr. High and in the same year as my sister - 2 years ahead of me. This photo is from the 1973 yearbook.

DeWitt Family: I just wanted to express my sadness at learning of Joe's passing. I grew up on Oak Street and Joe and his family lived just 2 doors down from us and I was their paperboy for a couple of years. We were a couple of years apart and we went to different schools, but I always enjoyed talking with Joe and he and his family were wonderful neighbors. Joe was a good guy, friendly and fun and I'll always remember him with a smile and a laugh
