We are so saddened to hear of Joe's passing. Both of us have very fond memories of both of you. We especially remember the time your whole family came over to our home, with Joe's guitar and everyone had fun singing while he played.
Our prayers and sympathy are with you at this difficult time. We will especially pray for the wedding taking place soon to be joyful and filled with peace.
Love, Gerry & Jerry

Over 25 years ago, I watched Joe light up the stage when we were both members of the Downers Grove Theatre Guild. And as luck would have it, when I moved to Grand Haven, I had a chance to see Joe light up the Carillon stage. Live has its circles. It was a pleasure to know such an honorable, talented man. With my deepest sympathies, Ginny Prihoda

I feel your sadness. We have great memories and that's what will make our days easier. Pete and Joe were great buddies years ago and now they're with God and out of their pain. Selfishly I'm sad!! God has His plan. I love you Pete and Joe.

To the Coburn Family,
I have so many wonderful memories of Joe and our community. Joe and Mary Anne moved into Aberdeen about the same time as we did. We've enjoyed many parties together, gone Christmas caroling together, appreciated the time and effort that Joe made for Carillon through the "tough times," enjoyed Joe's occasional solos, loved his sense of humor and it's impossible to think of Aberdeen without Joe. He will be sorely missed. He and Mary Anne and the entire family have been through the worst ordeal of their lives and we pray that he now rests in the arms of God. May God be with all of you.

Wonderful memories of a dear friend and a great Christian that we love as a brother. As Joe once said, "We'll all be together in time".
