Joe was the best friend that I have ever had. We always had each other’s back and supported each other. We enjoyed going to local events. We also took many senior bus trips which we enjoyed tremendously. I must say, though, that neither of us could remember where we were to meet the bus and go on to the next attraction. Joe taught me the basics of football, baseball and basketball. He was very patient with me. Sadly, much of what he taught me wasn’t caught, so to speak. We enjoyed doing a word scramble puzzle from one of the newspapers and whenever Joe had gotten the words unscrambled ahead of time but couldn’t figure out the answer he would somewhat reluctantly hand me the paper. Most of the time I got the answer in under a minute. Joe’s reaction was to throw up his hands. For a long time we would work on a different kind of puzzle in a Sunday newspaper. If there were answers that I couldn’t get but he could, I immediately became suspicious knowing darned well that something was amiss, because Joe could be a tad sneaky at times. He was excellent at keeping a straight face while delivering a tiny fib. More often than not he ended up laughing. Joe had lots of friends who are no doubt missing him as much as I am. Joe always treated me with the utmost kindness and respect for which I will always be greatful.
