“One word that sums up Joe’s role in my life- father. After my own father passed away Joe more than filled the gap. Joe is a brilliant man, and he understood me and took all of my ambitions very seriously and helped me in every way he could. Joe’s generosity to me knew no bounds. I honestly don’t know where I would be or what I would be doing if Joe had not come into my life.”

-from Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger’s forward in “Brothers of Iron.”
