    I send my condolences to Joe's family. Joe and I played on the golf team at WF back in the 70's. I remember how I always wished I had the happy attitude he always seemed to have. He never let too much bother him and was always a friend. We lost touch over the years but I never forgot Joe. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

    I am sorry for your loss. The bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3,4...states "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.

My thought and prayers are for you at this time of sadness. Susan

    I am so sorry for your loss. Joe and I were great buddies in high school. Everybody loved his gentle manner and quick wit. The last time I saw him was about 10 years ago when he was coming through Greenville, and he told me how happy he was with marriage and life. Wish I would've kept in touch more. Gods Peace to you and family.
