Joe was my best friend! I knew him for 50+ years, and Ava for 47 years. We were at DLIWCB together learning Korean, then we served at Kang Hwa Do together in the ASA. After we got out of the service he moved down to Texas, and I got to meet Ava. Our friendship persevered even though we moved away from each other, we still stayed connected. He was a true friend in every sense of the word, always there to bounce ideas off of. He could be a bit gruff at times, but you always knew there was a Teddy Bear buried inside of him. He loved his family and God, and he would give you the shirt off of his back if he knew you needed it! Rest in peace Joe, you will be missed, a lot! TERRY "The Gangpae" FRANK
