He will always be"Joe" to me. Joe and I first met in the 6th or 7th grade in Lima. We became friends and, without a doubt, Joe was my best friend through high school, college and thereafter.We were basketball and baseball teammates, and good friends in high school, getting together for lots of extra curricular fun.Since those Lima days we've remained good friends. Although I left Lima and eventually moved to the West Coast, we remained in contact with each other over those many years. One of my favorite highlights of our relationship with each other was a visit from Joe and Ann to our home in Oregon. We a enjoyed a week of skiing and recalling old memories. A time I'll never forget. It was like we were back in the early 50's. I know he'll be missed by his family. How fortunate we are to have had his presence in our lives.....a true gentleman! Please accept my deepest sympathy.
