Our sympathy goes out to the Knot family. I have fond memories of Joe. We met in the 7th grade at Glenridge Junior High School. We played on soccer, baseball and basketball teams together along with our good buddies Bobby Wallace and Russell Walker. Joe was a very good athlete. Joe pitched for our Lanham Boys Club baseball Team. It was common for Joe to walk the first three batters, then strike out the next three batters, with no plays in the field. The team would joke that the only players that needed to take the field was Joe and his catcher, Russell. The rest of the players could have stayed in the bench. I cherish those good memories.
God bless Joe and his family.
