I'm so sorry to hear that Charles, 'Baby Joe' to me, passed away. Y'all will surely miss him. But, he is watching from above, waiting for each of you. Pressie, you have my prayers for strength and my condolences. He was such a nice guy, my best buddy from age 3 to age 9 when he lived on Beech St and I lived on Iberia St. I've often thought of him, and I'll miss him.

So sorry for your loss, his parents were neighbors of my parents in the 70's on Sycamore. Prayers for all of you.
