June 3, 2014

I was terribly sorry to hear of Joe's death while I was away on vacation. Joe was devoted to the Ohio Recruiters Association (a founding member), and he attended every meeting until he couldn't anymore. I will never forget him. My heart aches for his family, but we all know he is with God where he knows no pain or sorrow. Rest in peace, Joe.
