My sincere condolences to Joe’s immediate and extended family. I loved spending time with Joe at Monmouth College. I knew him very well, and his brother, Bruce. We shared time together participating in athletics, and hanging around the dorms and Campus. Later in years, Joe came to watch my son pitch in Springfield, during his college years, and I loved visiting with him. Joe was one of the great guys I ever knew. I’m saddened and honored to have called him my good friend.
