"Mr.Joe" Would come in with the lunch wagon to my Dad's garage (Bennett's garage) When I was a little girl ~ I remember waiting for Mr. Joe to come ~ he almost always would have a meatball sandwich for me. Which were my favorite. To this day I have not had a meatball sandwich that could compare to Mr Joe's. I have all but wonderful memories.. Thank you "Mr. Joe" ~ I will never forget you !!! You touched my life.
