First off, back in the 70's, Joe hung out and worked at the Playdium. We as teenagers, hung out there. Played pool and bowled. He was a classmate. Later on when Tony and Bucky ran 4 of a kind, I shot pool there, and also delivered beer there every week for 5 yrs. Where Joe worked, was always a smiling face and made you feel welcome. Loved that group of people that worked there back then. My wife and I enjoyed everyone there. He will be missed.
