St Paddy’s Day, 2011 in NYC. Ran into Joe and his friends right before I was set to march with St. Francis Prep HS. He bought my friend and I a pint of Guinness which I took with me in the parade. That’s a no-no which almost got us kicked out and the Prep a bad rep. That was Joe though. Could not turn a pint down from Joe, no matter what the circumstances. Also signed me up with Northvale Volunteer Ambulance Corps in 2000. Our families go back to the Maggie’s Restaurant and Holy Family days. Miss you.
