Joe was a great man and I will always have great memories of him while I was a neighbor to his business for many years . as a child I used to hide and jump out in front of him and scare him silly . and over the years he used say to me , your the little dummy that used to scare me. even after all these years he remembered who I was . R.I.P. old friend .
