Indeed a great Auburn man and a genuine, good person. Thanks for the post tigerman.

I knew his Dad Bill well and watched Joe grow up. Sorry to hear this.

Joey Beckwith?  I always knew him as Joe.  Growing up, he lived across the street from my aunt and uncle and when I visited them, we would play together.  There were a ton of kids in that neighborhood.  He was always a good guy and fun to be around.  Glad he is being honored, but very sorry he is in poor health.
