We remember Joe sitting at the Elks club with my father in law Roy Davis, sr, telling so many funny stories. We really cherished those times with him and Evelyn. They both are sadly missed.
I absolutely adored Joe. He was such a kind man, always smiling and was quite a character. I was blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
