The Bible says, “God loves a gentle spirit.” I saw Joe as a humble and gentle spirit and I enjoyed talking to him at the golf course. He worked on my golf clubs and always did a great job at a reasonable price. I will miss seeing and talking to “The gentle giant”. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor. 4-18)
