I was saddened to hear of Joe''s passing. It was always a pleasure, anytime I met
Joe at John William''s when back in Bradford. He was truly a nice person. We were
all members of the Edgewood Road gang Troutman''s, Bennardi, Frontino''s, and
lucky me. We would all pile in Clayton Sr''s vehicle who would us off on his oil lease
to Deer hunt. Heating up a can of Campbell''s soup over an open fire was a gourmet treat.
Our deepest sympathy to Joe''s family
