We're sorry to hear about the passing of Joe. Like many others, getting together with him at the different car shows was always a pleasure....we always enjoyed talking with him, and always looked forward to seeing him and his big blue (sometimes white) car. We pray the Lord fills each and every family member and friend with His peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
