[QUOTE="CraigM, post: 63220, member: 39258"] I knew Joe throughout high school and earlier. He always had a smile on his face and was just a fun person to be around. I'll never forget that just before we had a Junior High chorus performance, for which all the boys had to wear black pants and a white shirt, Joe forgot to put the top on a black ink fountain pen, and, while goofing around with some of us, shoved it into the left breast pocket of his white shirt. Of course much of the ink ran out of the pen soaking into his shirt below the breast pocket. We thought that was the funniest thing we'd seen, but - still with a big grin on his face (he also thought it was hysterical) - Joe had to show the chorus director what had happened. She solved this disaster just minutes before the performance by having Joe stand very close to each of us standing alongside him, while making sure he kept the left front of his shirt hidden behind a tall girl with poofy hair standing on the riser in front of him. Joe had a distinctive New York accent (we'd never met anyone before with a NY accent), which we thought was a hoot: "earl" for "oil", "berl" for "boil", "goil" for "girl" and so on. Joe's loss was such a waste of a truly good guy. [/QUOTE]
