Joe and I were close. We played ball together and were like family all through school. I loved him like he was one of my brothers. On to my story. I may get some of this wrong but I’ll tell it how I remember it. Joe decided to get a new tattoo of his left arm. One thst he had not tell his parents about.  I remember asking him what he was gonna tell them. Well his mother came to pick him up from school that day and he was wearing a cut off shirt.  Lol. He looked at me right when he knew he was caught and said “ I don’t think I have to worry about telling them “. He was funny. My whole family loved him. It was impossible not to love him. He was such a great person and I for one will always miss hi

I remember the 1st time I met all of u n Joe was just coming home from celebrating a win with his baseball friends. Evan introduced me 2 him n he said hi n smiled. He went inside n changed clothes n came back out on the porch n was talking 2 all of us. Bo was there n he played ball also n wanted 2 play catch n I volunteered 2 throw with him. Joe gave me a glove n he watched us 4 a while then came down 2 the yard n joined us. He told me I had a good arm I told him I played ball 4 yrs n my dad was the one who taught me everything. He said he must b a good man cause he taught u well. That stays with me every day especially now that my dad passed. Joe was such a handsome, kind, caring n loving young man that touched everyone he came in contact with!! I'm so blessed 2 have been able 2 met him n become a member of the family!! Joe may b gone but, he will always b missed and loved by everyone!! Love ya always Joe!!
