Just thinking of Joe brings back such good memories of life in Los Banos on Granada Circle. The Spevak family was so lucky to know the Guyette family. Joe was very kind to us and several times helped me with minor repairs or mechanical advice. I can still hear him saying, "What? You don't have a pair of channellock pliers?" as he then used his own to fix a gas wall heater for me.
So many good memories of Joe, Mary, Jane, Julie, and Joe'l, especially around the swim team as well as life on the Circle.
Peace and blessings,
John
