So sorry to hear of the passing of Brother Joe. While he was a number of years younger than me I had had the privilege of meeting and spending time with him several times when I attending meetings of the active Brotherhood in my capacity as Tau Alumni Assn. Chairman. What I remember most about Joe was that he was a true gentleman and outstanding Brother. A great loss to the Brotherhood at far to young an age! He will be missed and remembered fondly!
