Wayne and I are so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. He was such a sweet man and we enjoyed all the years we saw him playing golf at Southern Oaks. Our prayers are with you and Jeff. Please let us know if we can help in any way. One of my favorite memories of Joe is he was always asking when we were going to build a swimming pool so he could come swimming. I always asked him the same thing. It was kind of like a joke between us.
