    Remembering Joe from our years as students at Canton High School in the 60's. He was always a good-natured guy whom everyone liked. I was very sorry to hear about his passing. My thoughts are with Nancy and the family during this difficult time.

    While working at ACRHS, Joe and I became friends. At the end of each grading period I could always expect Joe to appear at my office door needing help with inputing his student grades into the computer system. He made me laugh at his strong dislike of computers! Since retiring I have thought of Joe and his family often. He was a good friend, with a ready smile and kind words. May God bless each of you and hold you close as we mourn his passing.

May God's peace be with you and your family and others that mourn Joe's death. In Christian love, Dennis Glazener
