I know he is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord right now, but we sure are going to miss him here in Imperial!

To the family of "Joe The Barber" Thank you for sharing your Dad with Imperial! Joe was my barber while I was growing up in Imperial. What a special person he was to all of us guys growing up in the fifties and sixties, "duck tails".
