Joe and I are Sigma Lamda Beta fraternity brothers from back in the 60s at Loyola University night school. We had a lot of good times with our families. Joe had an infectious personality and upbeat nature and a fun guy to be with. My condolences to Joyce and the family. RIP big guy! Dan Croke Niles IL
