I knew Joe and have thought of him often over the years. I never asked anyone about him and always figured he went back to Liberal, Kansas. He and Dean Warren were both from there. I lived there four years with my aunt and uncle but never knew either of them while I was in Liberal. So long Joe. You will be missed.

Joe, I remember the lesson you taught me about getting the last drop of anti-freeze out of the jug and every time thru the years, your advice I would follow and think of you..
Rest in peace Joe.
Rest in peace Joe.
