I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Joseph. He was a s wonderful artist and such a kind person. We were former classmates at GHS and Facebook friends. Never once, did I hear him complain of his own medical problems as he consoled others with their own problems. Heaven has gained an angel. R.I.P. my friend.
