Joe Newton...such a kind, sweet, talented guy. I was one of the lucky teachers who had Joe visit my classroom wearing the red suit and beard...so awesome. Together Pat and Joe had many wonderful, big parties and they were such gracious, fun hosts. My favorite parties were the "BooHoo" parties at the lake when summer was ending. Joe was a terrific baker...his pies so delicious. I remember when Pat invited Dinner Club to her home after dinner out and Joe served us all his fabulous homemade dessert. Such good times. I think my favorite thing about Joe was the way he adored Pat...that was special to see. RIP Joe...it has been and honor and a pleasure to have known you. Pat, sending you love and hugs and prayers for comfort and strength.
