Sorry I've been so slow - not on internet often of late
Sorry I missed Joe's death. He was a great friend and I loved him dearly
I have a lot of memories of Joe and our times together in Spencer, USAF, IU and will miss him. He was a really good friend

GOD,

I briefly worked with Joe while marketing director at PrimeCo Personal Communications in the late 90's. Joe was a media consultant for us, and in the year and half that we worked together, he made a very positive impact. He was insightful, extremely knowledgeable and always humble. He knew the south Florida community very well -- the good and the bad. I would from time to time think " I wonder how Joe is doing in the Carolinas" . I'm sad to read about his passing.
