Joe was driving by my house on a summer day and we chatted for a few minutes out front. My son Aaron was playing catch with his friend Seth when the ball hit Joe's truck (not too hard). Seth reached down to pick it up when Joe acted upset and said " where's my rifle"? Seth had a shocked look of unbelief with his eyes and mouth wide open as he backed up holding his arms out defensively. Joe chuckled that he's just joking and the relief on Seth's face was amazing. We all laughed hard as it was so funny. Joe was the perfect example of the guy who would give you the shirt off his back. He was always willing to let me borrow his truck to take stuff to the dump and would never accept money for gas or using it. He also helped build my deck which was really nice of him and again, wouldn't accept any money - he was a very kind person. Albert Alire
