I have very fond memories of Joe, dating back to the time in the late 1980's when Dianne and I were roomates. I am thinking of all of you during this difficult time.

He was a Marine and a Police Officer. Loved his country and helping others. To the end he was looking out for his fellow officers. He will be missed.
