I miss you so much. I think of you always. I wish I could have been there for you. My dad was sick at the same time and also passed. My heart will always break because when you called me I could not come and be with you. I hope you are resting in peace now.

I was one of his best friends for many years.We met when I was 15 yrs old. I was his dance partner for many years. We won many contests together. He called me in Sept telling me he was in the hospital, after getting out we talked and he said he had cancer also, that was the last I heard. I called his phone # and they were disconnected. I decited to look under death records to see if he had died and that is how I found out. I feel so bad because I was not there for his last days. I miss him so much.

I have danced many times with Joe. We graduated from Alhambra together. Just last year we ran into each other and had fun dancing. He was a great guy and will be missed by many. Sharon (Grisham) York
