Joe Wayne "Daddy Joe" Forlines

Joe was such a friend to so many and I count myself fortunate to say he was mine. The Coal Yard was the "Cheers" of York while he ran it. Also had the best food in town. He will be missed by many!

Joe was the first friend I made when I moved to York in 1984. Was looking for a place to store some of my stained glass tools and supplies. Joe offered storing them in the space under the coal yard. It wasn´t much of a space but it worked. One day I was stopping in at the CY for lunch and met Joe leaving and I asked where he was going and he said he had someone cooking for him and he was going to to play with my glass. After lunch I went down to check on him and found both hands wrapped in bloody paper towels.
Joe was a true friend and I will remember him forever.
