When we were young, we spent a lot of time with our Farinholt cousins. Joe's graciousness was part of him from his very early years. I remember him as gentle and kind and will miss knowing he is among us. Love to his family.

I was of the same Lane High class as Joe's brother, Bob. Bob and I were good friends. During college and after I worked with Joe at Sperry. Joe was always friendly and thoughtful. I will always remember his gracious, broad smile. I am sorry to hear of his death. Joe was a fine gentleman.
