Remembering Joe

Remembering Joe is a book of vivid memories written by Joe’s widow, Dorothy Gould, their sons, Marc and David, and two of their three grandchildren. Each family member contributes their own unique experiences of Joe as a husband, father, and grandfather.

Passing the pen from one generation to the next creates a nuanced portrait of a man who was courageous, street-smart, and generous to all who knew and loved him. Born during Prohibition in Detroit, Dorothy recounts Joe’s journey from the mean streets of Detroit to Los Angeles under difficult circumstances. He started a successful trucking company and later served as president of numerous banks.
