It's truly hard to believe a father like you has been taken away in just a wink of an eye. You gave unselfishly of yourself for many years, never asking why, or regretting a minute. You were our angel, our prayer from above, You dad in our hearts forever...
Your Loving daughter

My deepest sympathy to the whole family. Although I only knew Joe for a short time I thoroughly enjoyed our talks when I visited him at the store. His eyes twinkled when we talked about his Grandbabies, his children, Carolyn and trips to Biloxi. I will never forget how kind Joe was to me and I will truly miss him. God Bless each and every one of the family and if you need anything please do not hesitate to ask. Very respectfully, Gary
