Add A Condolence

Dearest Joseph, you left your mark on this world in some of the best & dignified ways. A veteran who served our country, your beautiful family, an Alumni of 1 of the most well known HBCU's of all time, an author of 2 amazing books... It was an HONOR to have met you in 2019. I'll cherish our friendship, conversations, laughs, the advice that you gave me (Infinity). Rest Easy Hooah! To your family my deepest condolences. Marilyn PGW '90-'91

My friend Joe inspired me to write my first book, was a great golf-buddy, and most importantly a pious man of God. I witnessed him fight the good fight and will miss being able to pick up the phone and talk to him about our writings, or his beloved Pittsburg Steelers. Rest in peace my brother. You were loved.

My condolences to the family. Crystal Tucker

Sending My heartfelt condolences to the family of Joe. Joe was my neighbor here in Greensboro. Before he got sick he would often walk the neighborhood around 8:30 - 9 in the evening and I would be outside and we would end up talking for 30-45 minutes. We often would play golf together and actually went on a couple golf trips together. Going to miss you Joe. You are a good brother with a good heart.

RIP Bro.
