Hans Pierson

I still can't believe our patriarch is not with us anymore; in body, but will always be with us in mind and spirit.

Joe was a great guy, an outstanding golfing partner and a wonderful man. He was larger than life in so many ways. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all of us fortunate enough to have him touch our lives.

Paula, I was so sorry to hear about Joe. He was a great guy who seemed to always have something witty to say. He is one of those guys who everyone knew and had a lot of friends. We will miss him.

I'm saddened by the loss of my dear friend Joe. My heart breaks for his wife, one of my sweetest moms, Paula and their children. What a blessing to have known him for as long as we were given.

To Joe and his many friends. Joe was a special person. Even if you hadn't seen him in a while, he was always cheerful, had a smile on his face, and in a good mood. Truly one of a kind. We will all see him again in heaven. God bless his friends and family during this difficult time.

He was one of my dearest friends and he will be missed. Prayers to the family.
