We are so sorry to hear about Joe - saw the news in the latest PSU news magazine. Towards the last semester before graduation from PSU my wife had taken a job in KC so Joe shared the apartment with me until graduation. We shared several classes and didn’t miss to many episodes of Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune. Fond memories for sure. Lost touch not long after graduation as my family and I move to Portland, OR with a job transfer with Yellow Freight.
Our sincerest condolences to Joe’s family.
