So sorry to hear Joe has left us. He was a wonderful person. I left the neighborhood to travel with my husband who was in the Navy, and whenever I came in to visit my Mom Dad ( Stella & Packy Hoynes) I would see Joe and he would always grab me up and swing me around. I saw his brother Larry (great guy) when my brother passed away this past jan. and I told him to let Joe know we said "hello" and wished him well. Our Prayers are with all of you. We'll see ya later Joe. and say "hello to the rest of the neighborhood that's there. Bill & Sandy (Hoynes ) Cassidy
