The Chick family can not thank the Falgout family enough for all the love and support over the years...
Joe was a very special friend and mentor of mine for which I have benefited greatly. He always had the right words to say, or better yet a sympathetic ear for what I thought were big problems ... not so much anymore...
I greatly appreciate the hospitality of Lori and the kids during my recent visit...it was so nice to be able to spend the time with Joe during which I know was a very difficult time.
God Bless you "Jumpin Joe Falgout from down Keesler way" You are a hell of a man, and hell of a friend ... maximum effort!
Love the Chick Family

I know personally Joe's love of soccer, as do my two sons, Derek and Cory. He spent many hours on the field with us and for us and his passion can not be denied. He was a true friend that will be sadly missed. He is in a much better place and he will finally be able to rest in peace. With Respect - Jim, Cory and Derek Bovard

I had the wonderful privilege of working with Joe at L-3 in Madison for almost three years. He was an understanding and caring man. I enjoyed our friendship. Rich Wallace and myself both contacted him several times since our move to North Carolina and he still carried his smile through his suffering. He will be sorely missed.
We wish you and your family all the blessings needed.
May God Be with you all.
