We are going to miss Joe so much! What a wonderful friend he has been to our family. He was such a kind person towards everyone, especially children. Joe was a gentle man with a good heart. What a loss for his family, friends, and all he knew. At least he is with Ruby now. Teresa, Lee, and Mary

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing. He was such a sweet and good hearted person. I remember when he would always talk about how proud he was of his grandkids and get choked up into tears. He loved them sooo much and still does. My last memory of him was sitting in front of the house last Halloween in his gorilla costume handing out coins instead of candy. He is now with his Ruby Lane and I will dearly miss him. My condolences to the family.
