I was shocked and saddened to hear of Joe's passing.  We were friends in high school, and met in chorus.  I just heard the song "Teenager In Love" and it always reminds me of him.  He had that solo.  I thought he was really brave to get up and sing.  What a wonderful person he was then and it seems that he was til his death.  My heartfelt condolences to you and I will keep Joe in my prayers.


Shirley,  My Heart is sadden ...Joe is gone but he will not be forgotten.
