    Joe was married to my older sister Averl Mae (Avie) Higbee . I served under him as a reservist in Yakima, WA way back in 1955 with weekly meetings in an airport hanger. A GOOD & HONORABLE man he was! Under that tough “Gung Ho” exterior beat a soft and loving heart who did untold favors for me and many others. Love ya Bro ~ Semper Fi….

    To the Capistran children; Your Dad and I were stationed at New River together for a couple of years. I am sure you don’t remember that as it was back in 1959-61. But our families spent much time together. Your Dad was one of the finest men I ever knew. I lost track of him after I left the Marine Corps in 1963, and though I tried to find out where he was, I was unsuccessful. Now, finding that he is gone, I am so regretful that I did not try harder. I had always hoped I could be the man he was. I extend my most sincere condolences for his passing.
