My deepest condolences to the family of Joe. I had the pleasure of assisting him when he was the coach of the Flyers in the Dixie Youth League in 1982. We had the distinction that year of having the only undefeated season on record 18 – 0. To the best of my knowledge, that record still stands. Joe made many contributions to the community over his life but especially loved working with young people. May God grant each of you peace and comfort in your great loss.
Too Too and Family, I am thinking of you all during this difficult time.
Respectfully, Kimberly Clark Moore
