RIH Joe. I have know Joe since the 70’s . first met him at Skateland, he was always very friendly and had a infectious smile. A few yrs ago i seen him shopping a a store i was working at. still same smile. Surprised he remembered me after all these yrs. He was a very kind and sweet person. Rest In Heaven old friend
He survived with longtime girlfriend Nancy Gibbs who stood by him in passing. He was a great man living and caring and a second dad to me.
Joe.. Your going to be missed. I enjoyed watching Michigan Football with you on Saturdays and sharing a laugh or two. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of all the stories you shared with me and listening to the radio in the morning. Abracadabra till now! Fly high Joe Cool!!
I have known Joe since we were young teens. The last time I saw him was a few years ago at the Battle Creek hospital, where we were both going in for tests on our backs. I forgot to exchange phone numbers…..and I\’ve been searching for him ever since. He was very important to me. I\’ve missed him very much. I wish I could have one more great conversation with him. If his mom or his significant other would like to contact me, that would make me happy. Thank you, Joe, for being you.
