Joe I miss you so much. I loved everything you made me. I still wear my silver bracelet found a rock, tumbled it and you set it in silver. All my other things. Your dad selling us my diamond ring and just your friendship. You were so talented. You will never be forgotten, I make sure of it. Rest dear friend.

Any time I look at my wedding rings, I think of him. And his quiet, dedicated way he took care of any needs I had over the yearscleaning them, resetting my gorgeous diamond, settling on a replacement bandand I was just a customer. So I guess I think of him every day.

I miss you so much Joe, I had a very special thing I wanted to show you that never happened. I still cry, you were truly a wonderful man.

I received a letter in the mail about Joe, Iwas very sad to learn of his passing.... I had to sit down for a few and started thinking of the fond memories. I always braged about the different jewely I purchase from Joe to people. Every one would say how nice and sprakley my jewerly was. He would always get on me when I brought them in for service, because they was always way overdue for a cleaning. He was a very special person,I will miss him. My deepest sympathy to his family.

While we both will miss you we will think of you every time I see your special creations on Clare, and each time I wind our grandfathers clock. I will miss talking about flying with you. Calm sea Joe and following winds.

Through a letter I received from Continental Jewelers, I learned of Joe's passing. What a tremendous loss. My fondest memories were stopping in and receiving a warm welcome from Natasha and Hercules, and in earlier years, Winston. It was through Joe and Sam that we obtained our dog whom we cherished for 9 years. My deepest sympathy to all the family members.

My husband and I were walking near the Springfield store and were very surprised to see it was empty. I have been wearing a beautiful diamond since our engagement 25 years ago and just this Spring, Mr. Bruner reset it into a lovely gold band with a matching wedding ring. On the way home, we planned to search the computer to learn of a new location for the store. We are so very sad to read that he has passed away.
