Joe was my wonderful neighbor of 48 years!!!!
I can't imagine Joe not living across the street from me .He was always helpful giving me a helping hand or giving me good common sense advice on what was a fair price on anything..
When my church was going to close, Joe came across the street to tell me " You are going to love my church!!! He encouraged me to attend Sacred Heart church.
I will really miss him.
He and his family are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Jan Krueger
