Anne, this is Rich Buxton. My wife Carolyn & I in Belleville, IL. I had the privilege of teaching with Joe at Cahokia High School, but my greater honor was his friendship. Joe & I taught for many years in the same building, the Annex, at Cahokia High School. He was exceptional and he was the teacher I aspired to be. I left teaching & moved into administration, ultimately serving as principal of CHS. Joe was liked and respected by students, staff, & parents, he was a consistent asset & an integral member of the CHS family. Carolyn and I are deeply saddened at his passing & we offer our most sincere condolences.
