I am sad to hear about Joe’s passing. He was a friend that I admired and looked to for inspiration. He taught me to use my hands to do things that I didn’t think I could do. I enjoyed watching Joe build his cars and learned more than I can even recall. He had those abilities that I tried to emulate. My thought and prayers go to his family, he will be missed. Joe’s friend John.
Hi John, thank you for your kind words. Joe thought a lot of you. He really enjoyed shooting clay pigeons with you. He respected your opinion at work. Thank you again for posting this message. Sincerely Marlynn
