It was a pleasure to have known both you, Dottie, and Joe. I know his years at HopeTown were special ones. God bless .

To all of the Shrier family, I share in your loss. Joe was a neighbor to me growing up in Westlake, Ohio. Oh yeah! He had the greatest darn tree house in the back yard of his house and one day I trespassed through the woods and climbed in. He spotted me and let me be. (Whew!) I recall riding my trike with his eldest son, Tracy, who was my elementary school classmate. Great fun at the Cleveland Yachting Club, great Christmas parties at the Shriers' home, we grew up together. I remember Joe with fondness and am so happy he reached age 92. My heart goes out to others like me who remember him and miss him. I will remember him forever. So pleased and proud of the charities he supported. Tobey Robertson (Simpson)

It's not what we have in life but who we are that is important. Uncle Joe was a treasure! He had the kindest heart and eyes sparkling with sharp intelligence and humor. He met life's many challenges with positivity. He truly enjoyed life and made the best of any situation. He lived with effortless grace of spirit. Time spent with Uncle Joe was full of laughs because his outlook was infectious and uplifting. You couldn't help but feel accepted and valued in Joe's presence. He touched and improved so many lives. He was truly a gift! We hope to live the lessons he taught us. He will be remembered with endless love & laughter. A life well lived. Lynnette & Tom Titus
