RIP my friend Joe, Thank-You for protecting me at Pittsberg Des Moines Steel back in the 70's where we worked, such a small world that we run into each other again, through my bestie Cheryl, your lady, of many years. My heart breaks for her loss of you, she is truly devastated, and lost without you, she was by your side to the end of your road here on earth, just as you were there for many of us, she knows, I will be there for her. She is standing strong for your son Matt, whom I don't know personally, and he is standing strong for her, a legacy you left behind. My prayers go out to all your many family and friends during this time of grief that your grief is with many happy memories. RIP my friend.
