Psalms 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
I know firsthand what it feels like to lose a father. The initial pain is unbelievably great, but good memories and consistent prayer will go a long way in mending the heart. Stay encouraged cousins. We will of course miss his big smile, hearty laugh and overall joyful personality, but we are thankful to God for the time we had with him.
God bless,
~~Sylvia Whitson~~

Joe will be missed and remember always for his sense of humor. Back 30 years ago we all would go out Disco dancing (yes Disco) and then go out to breakfast. One of would have to stay behind to make sure Joe didnt take the tip aff the table. Of course we was always kidding around. I will always remember you my friend and brother in law.
