Claude "Joe" Joseph

To the Joseph Family,
My heart goes out to you all. Papa Joe was a very loving and caring man. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. My boys just like alot of boys, were in his home and he showed them how it was to be a man of his word and to show them that they are good kids no matter what. He is and always will be very special to me and my family. Thank you papa Joe. We love you and miss you.

I want to offer my condolances to "Pops" family for this sorrowful time. My heart goes out to his family, but especially his "boys". I know this will leave a void in their lives and hearts.

He truly was about "doing the right thing" - take care through this difficult time, respectfully, Anita Edwards
