For the family of Joe Chiodo,
I went to Des Moines in 1958 after graduating. I landed in the Woodland ave area along with many other girls seeking their careers. It was there I met a young pots and pan salesman named Joe Chiodo. I had begun to work at a place called the Woodland Sundries and Joe was acquainted with the owner and a lady and her daughter that worked there. Although I bought my set of pans from another salesman, each one of these "boys" made an impression, that kept them in my memories for many years. I can still remember Joes energy as he bounded in to grab a sandwich and visit a bit before planning his schedule of potential sales. I have not seen or heard of Joe for many years, but thought of him each time his brother was in the news. He was a gentleman, and always left you with a good feeling. I understand the loss you are feeling, but know that the memories will keep him beside you always. Please forgive my message.
