Joe was a friend with a genuine, good heart and a zest for life. He was an artist with plaster and took great pride in his work. One of the things that impressed me most about him was that after visiting with him, he wouldn't let you leave without giving you a hug and telling you he loved you. I'll miss you, my brother.
