Joe P.Joe D. was my childhood hero.
As a Yankees fan from the early '40's he was the main part of the package.
Life is made up of many trails and experiences.
Although I never attended the Lawrenceville School in NJ, I got to know some of the coaches very well.
One of them was a baseball, swimming and football line coach at the school.
He and his wife were like my second set of parents. .... may they RIP.
It was while at a game that I got to meet and watch a short, stocky, inside lineman with an identifiable Joe D. schnoz play football.
The kid played one hell of a game.
The relationship between Joe D. and Jr, is one of the saddest story's ever told.
