Joe Rohl to a cousin that Joseph Slaver's boys called Uncle. To a man that would be there and build anything for anybody. Thanks for all the scolding that you and dad gave us from the winter horse manure fights, the pool that almost collapsed from the whirlpool the boys and girls made, to the infamous tomato fight that left your lawn looking like a bloody battlefield. Thanks for also pairing with dad to do all those home projects. Surprised that you and dad didn't do your own tool time show. Glad that you got a chance to meet my wife Sylvia and talked with her during the Lyons lake parties you attended. You will be missed by all.

Joe Rohl, to a cousin that Joseph Slaver's boys called Uncle. To a man who was compassionate and always there for anyone. Thank you for all the great times and the scoldings from you and dad. The pool scolding the horse manure in winter scolding, and the infamous tomato fight that made your yard look like a bloody battlefield. So great that you had a chance to meet my wife Sylvia and had chances to talk with her at Lyoms Lake and the other parties you attended. Thanks for keeping dad company for all these years with all the projects you both did. It's a wonder you guys didn't have your own tool time project show. You will be sorely missed.

A friendship that has lasted a lifetime is a true blessing. Joey we've known each other since we were kids on Pearl St. Your children and ours grew up together. Although we moved to Florida our friendship never wavered, we could come home and pickup like we saw you just yesterday. It is so hard to believe you are gone. My thoughts and prayer are with your family. You will never be forgotten my friend, RIP Joey.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family right now. I have wonderful memories of us growing up, Your dad always had a smile on his face. Not many people have life long friends but our parents have proved that even though you have moved away that their friendship is as strong as ever. Your Dad may be gone in body but he lives through his children and his grandchildren.

August 5, 2015

Joe was a great friend and neighbor, he would help anyone, I will miss his teasing me about never being as old as I am. He loved his children and especially his grandchildren. Rest in peace Joe and say hello to John for me. Agnes
