Came riding through town with a heart of gold and spunk for life no words can describe. He brought to me some tricks up his sleeve I will never forget. The ride on my first bike was with him and one I will never forget. I was so scared, and so pregnant but Joe took me on and showed me how beatifull things look from the view of a bike. So caring of the baby in belly. So loving to my family he just met. He left an impression with my husband that will never be forgotten.

I will never forget the wonderful man Joe was and will always be. I will always love him and he will always have a special place in my heart. He was a kind, thoughtful, and beautiful soul. He talked me into going to our 30-year High School Reunion and I’m so glad I did. He touched so many people in so many great ways. I will miss him dearly.

In Kindergarten Joe was my first friend. I remember playing "Superman" on the school playground with him. I knew him all though our school years and even had him in biology in college. We lost touch after I left college to join the USAF but we recently reconnected. I convinced him to go to our 30th H.S. reunion and I am so glad I did. In school I was quiet and shy but Joe always tried to break me out of that and get me to smile. I only have happy memories of Joe. I am so very sad we have lost him too soon.
