We all went to school together and I know she misses Joe as much as I do. Sent by: Charlie Schaeffer02-16-2010 Met Joe while serving at Custer Air Force Station in Battle Creek, MI. Spent 3 years there with him. Had a few beers, waxed cars, had a beer, went to the beach, had a few beers, went into town to a joint called the Blue Dolphin. The bar tender had part of his arm missing. He didn't mind that we called him "Flipper". We had fun! Reconnected w/ Joe in the spring of 2005. After that I was on his email list and got a steady flow of his emails. Rest in Peace my old friend. Our heart felt condolences Carolyn.
