I too am shocked by Joe's passing. We were good friends in high school and kept in touch when he was originally married to Naomi. We had many enjoyable times together.

Though I had not seen Joe in at least 25 years, His death was a shock which I find personally distressing. He was a bright and knowledgeable scholar
