I know this is a little late several years as a matter of fact. I am very Go ahead sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He and I worked at my dad's store, New Star Market on 4th Street. Everything about Joe was positive and he just made the day week and month better. He was a good man and fun to be around. I don't know the history of his passing but I sure he had a wonderful family to fall back on and share his life with. I wish I had the chance speak with him and spend a little time before his passing. He was a good mentor and a good friend. I'm sure he is in a better place. I didn't know much about his family but I will say a prayer for Joe and wish the family my very best.
