Too bad. I am left with a feeling of being blessed in that Joanie and I were able to share dinner with Joe and his wife, plus some others at the Gas Up one year.
Joe brought wine from his own vineyard that the restraunt would not let him open. Joe offered the chef/owner a bottle. The wine was tasted, the owner told Joe to go out to his car and bring in as many bottles he wanted.
When I was drag racing Joe was the go to porting guy.
God Speed,
