Not sure what to say?





I have many great memories of Uncle Joe - going to the beach, sledding, dinners, swimming in the pool and his infamous question, "What grade are you in this year?".
Praying for all of you -

Joe, one of the few that could be trusted to talk to if you had a problem. Always had good advice. Joe was always ready to do research for any issues the Police Department May of needed. Rest in piece Joe. Thanks for serving. Chief of Police Ray Milligan

Steve, Joe and family, our condolences. Your father was a great guy. I always liked your fathers southern twang and words of wisdom. He once told me "If you want to make extraordinary money, you must do something extraordinary for a living!" How true that statement was for me. [email protected]
