My grandpa... I already miss him :( I´m now 11 and he was a great grandpa. He would take me everywhere and give me snacks and toys to my siblings. I miss him so much :(

Joe, We were friends for as long as I can remember and it is hard to believe that you are actually gone, but you will always be in my thoughts and you will be missed by many.
My sincere hope is that I was able to give you some peace of mind in your last few months on earth and am very grateful to have had the chance to see and speak to you shortly before you left us. Rest in peace.

My Uncle ..... no words can describe my sadness, it's like losing my mom all over again. Peace comes from within, so knowing you're being reunited with those who have gone before you and who you've missed for so long brings peace. Thank you for your service to our county and for all the memories that I'll hold dear until we meet again. Rest now, and give my Mom, Pappy and Nanny big, BIG hugs from me. I love you.

Glen and I are so saddened to hear of Joe’s passing... Glen has many memories of Joe over the years. I’ve gotten to hear the stories! Lol... I only met you about 8 years ago. We usually saw you in Redners. I got such a kick out of you when we would talk to you.. I won’t have anyone to call me “Dollface” anymore... I like that! I’m glad your getting to be with your wife again. Rest In Peace Joe.
