Tom -- I knew Joe very well. He went to work for CNAC about the same time that I did, and stayed till the end, as I did. After he came home at the end of 1949 or early 1950, he was involved in a car accident and lost both legs, so spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair. Joe's wife Edelyn (see document for correct spelling of Edlyne's name and Joe's middle initial "J") was killed in this accident (1924-1953). I don't know when he (Joe) died, but it was, I think, in the late 60's or early 70's. Wally Hash visited him, at least once, and could give you much more information about Joe. Sorry that I don't have more info.

Here's a couple of thoughts from Wally Hash. Wally's pretty sure that Joe's given name was "Joseph P." and Wally says that he remembers that Joe had a daughter in the US Air Force. When Wally visited Joe in the 1950's or 1960's he said that Joe was driving and lived near Indiana, Pennsylvania.

I am trying to contact Joe and Edelyn's daughter, Jodi B. Frampton,
who was in the Air Force stationed at Phoeenis, Arizona when Joe died in 1984.
Thanks for any clue in trying to reach Jodi.
Thanks, Tom
