I met Joe on a very long jury duty back in 2005 just before he was due to move to Wash. State. Joe was the nicest guy, he made the long days bearable, he shared recipes, he was interesting and light hearted and sensible. We stayed in touch for a while and I'm just so sorry to read of his passing. I know how much he cared about his family and how much he was enjoying his new home. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Marcia, Joseph and Bryan,
Bill and I are so sad to hear of Joe's passing.
I have very fond memories of playing cards
at your house with Modie. Also, the many hours
laughing and smiling at University Lanes. We
hope that you can feel God's love at this difficult
time.
Sincerely,
Cyndi and Bill Moebus
