Just heard of Joe's passing today. He was already a legend during my High School years of '56-'58, when he and others had the race cars. Later on at the welding shop, he could repair anything I had broken or worn out. He was a master craftsman who will be missed.

I enjoyed listening to his stories of old Cohasset.

My condolences to all his family.

I met Joe at the age of 17 when I brought my motorcycle to him so he could do some welding. Joe was an honest and fair man and a pleasure to do business with. He will be missed. RIP Joe
