We were sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I can just imagine him playing the piano and singing in Heaven. He was a good friend to us and our parents. We loved his sense of humor and his keen sense/ability to mimic people he had never seen. His memorization of hymns and Scripture was amazing. He used his gifts and abilities for God's glory.

Dear Janice, we send our deepest sympathy to you and Candice, Joe meant so much to us, our older children remember him from when we had him stay at our house in Hebron when he held a revival for us there, he was a great man of God. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry we wont be able to make it to the memorial, but we will be thinking of you all. God Bless you each day. Love and Prayers, Dick and Donna Humphrey

It almost seems fitting the Lord would have him join Pastor Tony Vohar up there within a few months. I served with them both at Abbington, and we had such a great time worshipping together with the residents there. They were a fun pair, always full of joy in their ministry. So sorry for your loss, Mrs. Jordan.
