My heartfelt condolences go out to Helen and all the family and grandchildren. Joe was a gentleman and great supplier and boss to me for many years. I know he is truly smiling in heaven right now with his children that have gone before him. Tim was truly one of my best friends in business and life. Will be praying for all in the coming days to find peace and rejoice in the great memories.
