I am sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He was a kind and caring man, and my only regret is in not having been able to get to know him better over the years. I am happy that I was able to visit him, although briefly, during his stay in the Nursing Home in Forsyth. I think he has always had a deep and abiding faith in the lord, and I know that he has joined Danny in a happier place.
