Not sure what to say?

Please accept our sincere condolences. We didn't realize that Joe had left us
Your neighbors Yves and Lynda

Joe was such special friend. I will miss him. He would call and check on how my husband was doing during his cancer and told us he prayed for him. Joe can now enjoy Heaven . My prayers are with the family during this time


My dad, Bobby Biggers and Joseph shared the same birthday, June 22 and then they both worked at Fiber Industries. Joseph would visit my Dad at the tractor lot and share memories of their high school days at Number Three. Joseph would call and check up on me after my dad's death. I will always remember Joseph as a kind person. I will miss him. So sorry for your loss Emma Jo. With sympathy Randy Biggers Carothers

I’m going to truly miss Joe. He was a wonderful friend. I always looked forward to talking to him and seeing him. Joe was the sweetest person to know.

I loved Joe. He was a treasured friend. I enjoyed talking to him about old times. I loved it when he would call to check on me.He has been a great friend to me.

I called my friend Thursday morning to talk to him but my friend wasn’t there. Joe & I have talked for years every 2 to 3 weeks or at least monthly. This little girl neighbor of Joe & Emma’s, “Noo Noo” is now 73 years old and lives in Hillsborough, NC.
I didn’t get to visit often in person with Joe because of the distance but we kept up with each other with telephone calls, updating each other of family members, happenings in our lives, sharing recipes & past joyful memories of times...

We love you Emma jo, Lisa and family. God Bless and protect each of you May the peace of God be with you.. Lot of good memories with you and Joe.
Love Always
Bob and Roberta Greene

Joseph was always a fixture in our lives as a family. Don't remember a time when I didn't know who he was. He was witty and kind and we always thought the world of him. The world is a better place for having had him in it. Rest with God.

We will never forget Joe’s kind heart and great wit. He was always welcoming and hospitable, and like family to us.
