I agree with Leon. Joe was very funny and a very friendly fellow. We had a hot dog together at Augie's in East Hartford in 2001 and he managed to tell me a joke. Time sure flies by. Joe will be missed by many people.

My deepest condolences to the family of Joe. Even though we were high school classmates, I lost track of him after grade school at New Park Avenue. May he rest in peace in a far better place.
