I knew Joe and Mike since i was a baby. We grew up next to door to each other. We called Joe Buddy Joe. I always said he and Mike were the neighborhood terrorists. Lolol. There's not enough room here for childhood stories. I remember when Joe was saved. It was pretty funny to us at the time, but i am so with him now. I'll never forget when my sister and I were outside talking to Joe, he blew a great big bubble with his gum ....my sister popped it. I remember the look on his face and the glistening gum hanging from his eyelashes, hair, nose. poor guy had a hard time getting rid of that. I miss the boys of yesteryear, along with the whole neighborhood. Rest in eternal peace Joe in our Lords arms. See you heaven old friend.

Joe was a lifelong friend of my soulmate, Mike Archibald. Because of that Joe became an instant friend of mine, when I first met him 23 years ago. Joe had a heart of gold, and would give you the shirt off his back. He also brought innumerable people to belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. I will miss you Joe, but you are face to face with the Lord. Until we meet again,
