My condolences on Joe's passing. I knew Joe when he worked at the IBM Glendale Lab. Joe was an interesting guy. He would often talk about his "big game" hunting expeditions out West and else where. I hadn't seen Joe in years and often wondered what he night be up to. Glad to read where he got to enjoy his retirement years!
