Joe had a larger than life personality & never met a stranger. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

My sincere and deepest sympathy! Joe and I were friends at DBQ Senior and I remember the fun and laughs we had as lab partners and classmates. He was a great man and friend. I so very sorry for your loss.
