Joe welcomed everyone. While serving the 65 venue at the Froebel Picnic, I worried about running out of food. Joe said, "No problem. The 3 Amigos (Bob, Joe & Willie) will provide. We (Dawn, Rae & Boo) loved him.

So sorry for your loss. Joe was one stand up guy. In HS, he was a great friend to my oldest brother Walter Smith. Fortunately, I met him again late in life and found he was still the same wearing a radiant smile. RIP Joe
