Joe Newcombe,
a longtime family friend,
passed on at age 50

Joe holds Puppy JR back in January 2006 while Joe was visiting us for over a month. Erin and Joe became friends in high school
in Bradford, Pennsylvania starting back in the early 1970s, and he has been a good friend of the Arnold family ever since.
Our condolences to Joe's family. We will miss Joe forever. He was truly one of the nicest human beings anyone could ever know.
We will always love you and will never forget you, Joey Rae.
