Mr. Jioio.....Or Mr. Joe as we called him, was my woodshop instructor from 1978 to 1980 at Stanwood Jr. High and taught me the proper way to use a great many tools, and, in 1980, awarded me and a friend an outstanding workshop award...a very defining moment in my life that I'm eternally grateful for. Rest well Mr. Joe, I will never forget you for the impact you had on my life.
