Joe was my ex-husband. He was fun and had many friends. We just weren't good partners, but we remained friends. We were, in fact, almost always friends, rather than husband and wife, which is why our relationship was admired by many and they were surprised when we divorced.
That being said, I hope Joe's life was most enjoyable as our time together was a lot of fun. We were young and our goals were different as we grew into adults. If anything, our divorce made him jumpstart his life in an effort to better his own goals and dreams. Rest in Peace, Joe. Just know, you were loved by many.

Joe was a good friend. We both loved arcade games and pinball machines. We worked on a few machines together. He was a smart man with a good sense of humor. He will be missed. Joanie, I am deeply sorry for your loss.
