I grew up with Joe Beach in Evansville, IN. A lot of good memories come to mind associated with Joe Beach. We went to Vogel Grade School and Bosse High School together. We also went to Mechanic Arts School together. A lot of good times together, especially playing football in his back yard on Keck Avenue. His back yard looked so big when we were kids. Today the back yard looks very small. I considered Joe as one of my best friends. We talked often on the phone and the phone calls will be missed very much. I also prayed for him daily. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
