My deepest sympathy to all of the family. I have a lot of good memories of Joe and Louise coming to my restaurant in Canton and all of our times working together for the Democrat Party in WNC.
My sympathy in your loss. Joe and Louise were always such supporters of Leicester High School and its athletic programs. Their enthusiasm was contagious and always will be missed.
