Joe was a very good guy and was sorry to hear that he passed away. I am really sorry for your loss. I have great memories of him.
Phil and family, I’m sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. My mom, Lorrayne, had been keeping us aware of Joe’s status and we’ve been keeping him — and you all — in our prayers
