Joe was one of the nicest and most responsible people I ever knew. As a Past Captain of the Pete Fountain Half Walking club, I knew him to be someone to count on in any situation - he was reliable and trustworthy. If you ask Joe to do anything you could rest assure it would be done. He will be sadly missed by many. Janet & I will keep Joe in our prayer along with his family members. Goodbye good friend.
