To Marilyn and her family, we share your sorrow and wish you peace. Joseph was my cousin - his Mother Mary and my Father Joseph ( Harwin) were brother and sister. I believe the last time I saw Joseph was at my brother Joe's wedding in St Louis in 1957.

To his loving wife, Marilyn, and sons and daughters and grandchildren, I express my deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of Joe. I'm sure there are no words that can express the sorrow you must all feel. But I know you will continue, as I will, to have loving thoughts and happy memories of Joe througout the coming years. May his resting place be one of peace and may his life be always one of warm remembrances. He will be missed....Frank
