LSams Thought this news story about a Central Florida legend was worth sharing. Had the chance to work with him a handful of times when I lived in Central Florida (almost 2 decades ago). Thanks Joe for the years of service, mentorship, and loving our game! https://www.clickorlando.com/video/local-news/2023/02/03/91-year-old-referee-hangs-up-his-whistle/
BillyMac LSams: Thanks for sharing. My goal is to get to fifty years officiating. If I make it, I will be seventy-six or seventy-seven years old. Severe arthritis in my right foot may force me out earlier.
