Sad, I knew his Parents. When I lived at Howard Joe was my banker. He was a good one, I had my Cattle and Farming money borrowed at a Bank in Howard. The Banker was not to my liking. I went to Moline and told Joe my problems, he handed me a Blank Check and said go pay him off. Joe and My Brother-in-Law Marion Jacot were friends and Marion Banked with him also. It is always sad to see anyone die in a Car Accident, this couple was young.
