I am so sorry to hear about Eddie Joe's passing. I knew him when he was in home care. He was a CHARACTER!! I loved listening to his stories and enjoyed his sense of humor. I wish he would have written a book; I always told him to. I know he is free of pain and worry with our Heavenly Father. Rest in Peace, OT. I am so happy to have known you. Ellen Martinez Cue RN
