Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that Joe has passed away.  What a wonderful person he was! I met him in 1966 when we both had stints at the C&O railroad and we became great friends. I've left a story about him on the story tab for you, but please know I send heartfelt condolences and prayers to all of his family. He was terrific.

joe and i were very good friends. i remember we box one day and he hit me so hard in the kidney, it knock me off my feet.he was very strong and always worked out.we even ran a marathon together, we trained and i remember we were on the 14 mile mark and he took off, i told him to slow down, and at 18 mile mark he hurt his ankle, but came to visit me to see how i was doing. willie miss him
