I remember Joe as a very kind and gentle man and one who spread the Word as a true disciple of Christ. He is very much missed here at JBR.

Brooke, i so enjoyed seeing Brother Breeze at the bank. Even when he was frail he still went to visit people in the hospital. I admired him so very much. He is buried in the same cemetery as my son. I will visit his grave when i go to my son's. His family was very blessed to have him and i was blessed to know him.
