I´m Sorry For Your Loss. I´ve known Joe since I was very young. I always respected Joe. When he walked his Beat on the Market he was so good too My Uncle Pete. Yes my Uncle was always downtown. And if Joe seen him he would take him in the Capital and get him a Sandwich and a Cup of Coffee and pay for it. He would tell the people that he would be back to get Pete when he got off from work. And it would be freezing cold outside and Pete would be drinking as always. But Joe would always bring my Uncle home so he wasn´t out in the Cold or put in Jail. Joe was always good to my Uncle Pete. And I respected Joe for always looking out for Pete. And year´s went by and I was working at the Waffle House on Franklin Rd. And Joe would always come and drink coffee with all the regular customers just about everyday. I can remember him coming in one day and said too me Carolyn my Son´s wife is pregnant with mine and his wife Carolyn´s First Grandchild. And I remember him telling everybody that he was going too be a Grandpa. He was so excited to let everyone know that he was going too have a grandbaby. And yes I worked for year´s at the W.H. But I also never forgot how good Joe was too my Little Uncle. And I´m sending Joe´s Family my Deepest Condolence . And I will keep you all in my Thoughts And Prayers. May God Bless Each And Everyone Of You.
