I was so sorry to hear of Joe's death. My mother was Rachel Cordts, who worked with Joe, Jack Higgins, and many others for so long at the ESO at the Naval Base. I also went to high school with Tony; we were in some dramatic productions together and dated for a short time. I remember the last time I saw Joe was when I was a waitress at the Liberty Restaraunt in Libertyville and he came in with his wife and daughter for dinner and I waited on them. We had a nice time reminiscing. My mom and dad are both gone now so I understand the heartbreak and grief that you are feeling. My very best to your family at this difficult time and for the holiday season which will undoubtedly be hard this year. Wendy Cordts
