I was sorry to hear of Joe´s untimely passing. Joe and I attended Hamden High School together. Later we both taught Science for many years at Hamden. Joe was an excellent teacher. He was well-liked by both students and colleagues and was an excellent role model. His quick smile and easy demeanor will be missed by many.
