Joe Heu and I were close friends and called each other
Paziano,"like an Italian greeting". Joe was that way friendly
outgoing and hospitable. You have my condolences and may Jehovah be with all family and friends. I will miss Joe very much.
As Brother Ted Applegate Jr. says, "He is in better hands now".
With great love Brother Burton.
