Joe: I so admired your integrity. You gained 4 wonderful children when you married Mair, and you were truly their father. You were a fine man, and a good father-I will miss you. Kay Harding

Joe - you and Al were always my favorite "Boy cousins" and we had a great time growing up and then fishing up at Strawberry and the Gorge when we became adults -- we grew up too fast. I will miss your carefree attitude and the times we spent together. Have a safe ride and enjoy your next journey.

Little cousin Joe. You always lived life a little outside the lines and enjoyed it to the fullest. Deep inside, we all wanted to be a little more like you. We had some great times living in SF when we were so young and carefree; hunting with our fathers up on Dowd Mountain, fishing and family vacations. Where has the time gone and why must it pass so quickly until someone we love passes away. You, Al and John were the brothers I never had. We will always miss you.

My memories of Uncle Joe date back to my childhood. His distinct voice calling my name always put a smile on my face. He resembled his father in many ways. He lived life to the fullest, hunting, fishing, raising his family, and he touched many lives with his brilliant smile. Uncle Joe, you will be missed.

Joe was an old friend from High School. Over the years we met sporadically at various "Get Together's". He was always happy, always had a smile on his face and was always fun to be around. We will miss him. Condolences to his family and friends.

I am deeply saddened by the Passing of an old high school friend, "Joe". His infectous personality made him "one of the boys" back in the Skyline High days of the 60's. He always gave us a little lift when we seemed to need it most... I will remember well the last time together at our reunion in 2008. Joe provided the fun and the good ol' feel of old times... Thanks for the memories Buddy, they will be cherished as was your friendship... I already miss you...

My one memory of Joe that will stay with me forever is having all of his family at the hospital and getting on the bed and him smiling at me and asking me to give him a kiss and make him better. I adored Joe and will always remember him as the vibrant man that he was. I miss you Joe and will love you always my darling, Annette.
