So very, very sorry for your loss. I have known Joe, from school days at NFA.. If we hadn't seen each other in a long/short time, it didn't matter... It was like we were talking just a week ago... The nights will be a little brighter with another star, in the heavens.

Lorraine,
I'm sorry for your loss. It's not easy to lose a love one, especially now. I can say it's difficult, but you need to remember the good times.
I knew Joe from the Black Rock Clambakes, and more so from the Nascar Store. I knew he was a good guy when he said he was an Earnhardt fan :-)
He will be welcomed into heaven by good people. My brother will be waiting there for him to watch the races on Sundays. :-)
Joe will be missed by all that knew him!
