My family sends their sympathy to Joe's family. We met him through our daughter when she was playing at President's Golf Course. He ended up remodeling our kitchen from floor to ceiling.......That was in 1985 and it is like brand new. Best carpenter in the world and a terrific personality to go with it.
RIP Joe.......all our prayers are with your family.
