He will be greatly missed.

Joe always took an interest in the friends of his children and go to know them. Especially if you were into autos or anything mechanical. Always willing to offer assistance, advice, or an easy conversation. Glad I was able to know Joe. My condolences to the Leblang family on his passing.
