I met Joe when he was with the 9th M.P.Co,. In Vietnam.. I was only told a few weeks about Joe's death. My heart goes out to the family. I had a lot of great times with Joe and I'll never forget him. He had a great smile and always helped anyone who needed it. He was a great comrade and an ever greater friend. Heaven has taken a great person and I know he's looking down on us with great admiration. We had great times together and like I said, he'll be missed dearly. Bob
