I have known Joe and Lee for as long as I can remember. I always considered them family. I have alot of great memories of Joe, since I grew up right across the street from them, and always spent Christmas Eve and numerous other holidays together.
When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, Joe, was the first person who wanted to do a charity event in my honor and put the whole thing together. He organized a golf outing and then dinner at the restaurant, Maggies, which he owned at the time.
The outing had a huge turn out and the dinner was packed afterwards.
I am eternally grateful to Joe for what he did for me. Whenever I ran into Joe at a bar, before I even was able to get to the bar for a beer, he had one for me already!! I never was able to beat him at darts either!!
I will never forget Joe and all the good times and bad that we shared together.
