With sadness, we learned of Joe’s passing. We send our love and prayers to you, the family. We remember plenty of conversations with Joe and Sylvia during the time that our kids were attending Madison Park and playing here during the summers in the neighborhood. Maybe we’ll see you around Elm Street when you come to check on the house down the street. Please stop and visit if you have even a moment. Signed, the Gorraiz Family
