My deepest sympathies to you Martha and your family. I remember when I was a kid, he told me to get my dog off Capri Blvd. or he'll pick him up and take him for a bike ride. Joe was rough on the outside, but had the beautiful heart of an angel on the inside. He's on his Bike with wings on. God's love and mine to you and your family.
