Rick and Cindy Rogers,
So sorry for your loss. Saw him and his wife often eating out after church on Sunday. . He was so funny. Told us the story of the swimming pool explosion, we laughed and still remember it today. What a great guy , will surely be missed by all. Prayers for your family.

Joe was a loyal friend. I worked with him at Great Dane trailers from 78' to 1983. He always had a story to tell, and a smile to share with everyone he would meet.
He was a special person in many ways, and I will always remember him as a true friend...
