We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our Association member and friend, Joe Banks. I'm sure I write on behalf of all of Joe's old friends in the U.S. Navcommsta Londonderry Alumni Association (www.navcommsta-londonderry.freeservers.com) when I write that he will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who called him friend "back-in-the-day" at the U.S. Navy Base in Derry, Northern Ireland - 1963-1965. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time of sorrow. ."Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, loves leaves a memory that no one can steal." Cherish your memories. We will place Joe's name in our web site TAPS section.

Brother Lenny and I were friends and neighbors of Joe's in Stoughton, MA. We shared some great teen-age times together. Will never forget those softball games we played after school nor the girls we "chased". May God rest his soul.
