Gayle & Family,
I new Joe through softball at EHP and then other teams. He was one of my favorite guys - great demeanor on and off the field. Also, one of the best pitchers around. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Joe's family,
Joe brought joy to our family's life. The four of us, Bray, Jacque, Heather and Daniel grew to love Joe during our years at Mechancisville Little League and as Chris, Ryan and David / Heather and Daniel went through middle and high school. Joe always brought a smile to our faces, simply because he was always smiling. We last saw him at the Tomatoe Festival... smiling! Joe was a special person and a gift from God. We will so miss him. May you all be blessed with beautiful beautiful memories!
In prayer,

To the Sandy Family: I have fond memories of your Dad at Mechanicsville Little League. My children (Jeremy & Angela Hallock) played baseball with some of you. Your Dad was always so supportive of his family and his love was evident. I know that you will miss him terribly. May God's peace and comfort be your strength during this time.
