    I worked with Joe when he was a cook at The Hub and I was a waitress. He was a lot of fun and a great guy to work with. I would run in to him from time to time back then but have not seen him for years. Rest In Peace Joe. Prayers for the family.

    It has been many years since I have seen Joe. His sister, Pam, used to babysit my daughter Michelle when we lived on 15th and Park so we would see the kids all the time. So sorry for your loss.
