Joe and I became friends through bowling and shared so many good times, through the sport and teaching youth bowling together. He was a wonderful friend who will be missed very much!! He was such a good person, and always happy and larger than life. His kindness touched so many, and he never knew a stranger that I ever saw. Our condolences and prayers, and know he was such a very wonderful man.

Joe became my close friend just after I moved to TN in 2017 playing in the local Tri Cities Monday Pro AM golf events with he and Conley Fletcher. They picked me up as a single at Glenrochie Countey Club in Abingdon, VA. We had many good times on the golf courses that we played together. I spent time helping Joe with his game and took him to a club fitting outside of Knoxville, TN. We spoke about doing some fishing, but never made it happen (sad)! I got to meet brother Bill when we took a Fall Golf Getaway up at Rock Harbor Golf Club in Winchester, VA. He was a great friend & a wonderful "Brother from another Mother" & I , as well as his other golf brothers from another will miss him dearly! Rest in peace in Heaven, Joe!!!
