Not saying it couldn't, but I've learned to trust my judgment.
Familial experience has taught me that public perceptions are sometimes not correct. I'll just say my step father was an psychologically abusive alcoholic and my mother's mother-in-law was THE most inconsiderate ***** this side of Peggy Bundy. When they died, everyone was singing their praises like they were angels while it took everything I had to not bust a gut in their middle of their services. Literally, my mother and I took turns glancing at the other daring each other to lose it.
Generally speaking though, those instances I get from Joe are that he wasn't a womanizer or anything else along those lines. Probably a bit of a Grady to folks and certainly rubbed some folks the wrong way, but I do think he tried to keep his pants on.
