Joe was a dear friend who I have thought of many times since his passing. Ironically, a couple days before this arrived I laughed about someone who was driving me crazy and I wondered if Joe could give me the appropriate name for this individual - a joe specialty. Joe was always available for work or when I needed a friend. He was and is special to me still.
