With our most sincere and deepest sympathy to all of you. Joe was always a good guy and I will always remember when all of you would come out to the our home in the Black Forest and the girls and myself would play tricks on him. He had the prettiest red hair of any person I ever knew. When he worked at the Citadel Mall and I worked there he always came into my store to say hello. Although our lives take different paths and time passes in a blink of an eye and we don't stay in touch its the many memories of the yesturday's that keep those that touched our lives alive forever in our hearts. He will be missed. Many prayers. Always Carla,Rae Jeanne and Family
