Joe was a friend growing up in Lincoln Village on the West side of Columbus. We spent time in the Boy Scouts and at each others home as adolescents growing up. Joe enlisted in the USMC and did his 20 years there before becoming a civilian. Last I saw Joe was at my mom's memorial service in 2020 at grave side. It was great seeing Joe after so many years absence. Joe had several early morning Journal paper routes and played the Trombone at a point at Westland HS. Great memories from life. God bless Joe and his family.
