It is indeed sad to lose another man from the "greatest generation". Joe was a gentleman and friend to our extended family growing up on Orange Ave. in Monterey Park. Joe and Margaret were a special pair. They were so good to my Mother, Gerda, having her at dinners and of course making her a special Martini. Joe made sure that it was perfect! I am sitting here looking at a photo of Joe with his flight crew in front of his B17. He was a handsome man. So many men just like Joe learned to fly at such a young age, and they went off to war knowing all the risks.
Joe is soaring above us now and may he rest in peace.
